Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan crisps
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine anchovy fillets, minced garlic, egg yolk, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until smooth.
Slowly whisk in the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add the 0.5 cup of extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuously whisking until the dressing is emulsified and creamy.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the shredded parmesan cheese and prepared Caesar dressing until well coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Once the chicken is ready, slice it into thin strips.
To assemble the salad, divide the dressed lettuce among serving plates. Top each with slices of grilled chicken and sprinkle with parmesan crisps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken.
