Chicken Caesar Salad

Chicken Caesar Salad is creamy, crunchy, and always the perfect option for a light lunch or dinner!

Ingredients  

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
• 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning* or to taste
• 8 cups romaine lettuce washed, dried
• 1 ½ cups croutons
• ¾ cup parmesan cheese grated

Dressing

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions 

Combine all dressing ingredients and set aside.

Combine the chicken breasts and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Season with cajun spice, making sure to cover all of the chicken.

Heat up a large pan with remaining olive oil, add the chicken once hot and cook on each side ensuring that a dark crust is forming, “blackening” the chicken.

Cook until chicken has reached 165°F internally or place in the oven to finish them.

Once cooled, cut chicken breasts into slices.

In a large bowl, cut romaine lettuce into bite size pieces. Add croutons, parmesan cheese, and prepared chicken. Top with dressing and toss.
