Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Croutons
- 8 units Bamboo or metal skewers
- 2 cups Basmati rice (optional, as an alternative to salad)
- 3 cups Water (for cooking basmati rice)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1.5 inches each.
In a mixing bowl, combine Caesar dressing, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Brush the skewers with olive oil and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare your Caesar salad. In a serving bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and croutons with additional Caesar dressing as desired.
If serving with basmati rice instead of salad, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add the rinsed rice, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Serve the grilled chicken kabobs hot over the Caesar salad or alongside basmati rice as desired. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top for garnish if preferred.
