Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat croutons
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dressing: mince the garlic cloves and add to a bowl with low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
Slice the grilled chicken breast into thin strips.
Add the chicken strips and whole wheat croutons to the salad with the lettuce.
Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and gently toss to combine.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of chicken and croutons.
