Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Gluten-free croutons
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Let them marinate while you prepare the salad ingredients.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.
3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets and garlic cloves into a paste using the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed anchovies and garlic with the lemon juice, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly before placing in a large salad bowl.
6. Add the gluten-free croutons and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until the ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
7. Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips and arrange them neatly on top of the salad.
8. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Gluten-Free Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad!
