Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 3 heads Romaine lettuce hearts
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to season.
Slice the romaine lettuce hearts into large wedges, keeping the core intact, to ensure they stay together on the skewers.
Cube the baguette into 1-inch pieces and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to create croutons.
Assemble the skewers by alternating chicken, lettuce wedges, cherry tomatoes, and bread cubes. Allow space at each end of the skewer for easy handling.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks, and the bread is lightly toasted.
While the skewers are grilling, make the Caesar dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve warm with the Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
Optionally, garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
