Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for uniform cooking.
In a bowl, combine Caesar dressing, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for better flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the hot grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
In a serving platter, arrange the Romaine lettuce leaves and sliced cherry tomatoes. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place them over the greens.
Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Grilled Chicken as a standalone dish or with crusty bread.
