Salad Base

Chicken

Croutons

Dressing

Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Prepare Croutons

  1. 3

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into cubes and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian herbs, and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 4

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the coated bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, grilled chicken strips, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
