Dressing Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Croutons

  1. 1

    Make Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into small cubes. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. 2

    Bake Croutons

    Bake the croutons in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Grill the Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare Chicken

    While the croutons are baking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced grilled chicken, homemade croutons, and grated parmesan cheese to the bowl of romaine. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the top.

  3. 7

    Toss Salad

    Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients and ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
