2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breast halves generously with salt and pepper. This step adds flavor to the chicken as it grills.

3. Grill Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

4. Prepare Dressing: While the chicken is grilling, it’s time to prepare the creamy Caesar dressing. In a blender, combine the grated parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Blend until smooth and creamy.

5. Adjust Consistency: Depending on your desired consistency, you can adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding more chicken broth. For a more intense flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste to the dressing.

6. Assemble Salad: In a large bowl, toss the romaine lettuce leaves with the prepared Caesar dressing until evenly coated. Divide the dressed lettuce among 4 plates.

7. Slice Chicken: Once the grilled chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, thinly slice the chicken breasts crosswise into strips.

8. Arrange Salad: Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top of the dressed romaine lettuce on each plate. Add a sprinkle of halved cherry tomatoes for color and freshness.

9. Serve: Your Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad is now ready to serve! Each serving equals one chicken breast sliced, accompanied by 1-1/2 cups of lettuce, 2 tablespoons of dressing, and 4 cherry tomatoes.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in Caesar dressing for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
• Feel free to customize your salad by adding additional toppings such as croutons, avocado slices, or grilled vegetables.
• If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the chicken on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler in your oven.
• Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
