Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup caesar dressing
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 pieces anchovy filets (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, followed by garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, wash and roughly chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and arrange it in a large salad bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it crosswise into strips.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the romaine lettuce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad.
In a small bowl, mix the Caesar dressing with lemon juice and, if using, finely chopped anchovy filets for extra flavor.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve the Keto Caesar Chicken immediately, garnished with more Parmesan if desired.
