Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free Caesar dressing
- 1 cup Gluten-free croutons
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped lettuce into a large salad bowl.
Add the sliced chicken, dairy-free Parmesan cheese, gluten-free croutons, and dairy-free Caesar dressing to the bowl with the lettuce.
Drizzle lemon juice over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Serve immediately, dividing the salad evenly among four plates or bowls.
