Method
Preparation of Chicken
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assembling the Salad
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Add Dressing
Pour the Caesar dressing over the chopped romaine lettuce and toss gently until the lettuce is well-coated.
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and croutons over the dressed lettuce. Season with black pepper to taste.
Finish with Chicken
Slice the grilled chicken breast and place it on top of the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients or serve with the chicken on top.
