- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Begin by preparing the grilled chicken. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad dressing. In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Mince 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the dressing mixture.
Stir in 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to complete the dressing.
Chop the romaine hearts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the chopped romaine lettuce and toss to coat evenly.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips and arrange them on top of the romaine salad.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
