Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and blackened. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    While the chicken is resting, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Add Caesar dressing and toss until the lettuce is well coated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the dressed romaine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and add croutons for crunch.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the chicken is warm.
