Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add to the salad bowl along with the chopped lettuce.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Top the salad with grated Parmesan cheese and croutons.
