Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Low sodium croutons
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dressing. In a blender, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and have grill marks. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the lettuce with the prepared dressing, ensuring the leaves are well coated.
Add the sliced chicken, low sodium croutons, and grated parmesan cheese to the salad.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad if desired, and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and flavors.
