Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 heads Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Gluten-free croutons
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 2 fillets Anchovy fillets
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper (dressing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside to cool.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooling, prepare the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, anchovy fillets, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil while blending until the dressing is creamy. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 7

Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

Step 8

Add the sliced chicken, gluten-free croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese to the lettuce.

Step 9

Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss to combine evenly.

Step 10

Serve immediately, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of chicken, croutons, and Parmesan. Enjoy!
