Chicken Caesar Salad
A classic with a satisfying twist, Chicken Caesar Salad is a fresh, hearty salad that combines the crisp, creamy goodness of a traditional Caesar with tender, juicy chicken for extra flavor and protein. It’s a go-to favorite for a light yet filling lunch or a refreshing dinner.
The base is a bed of crisp romaine lettuce leaves, tossed generously in a rich, creamy Caesar dressing made from garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste (optional but traditional), Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and a hint of black pepper.
Boneless, skinless chicken breast is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then grilled or pan-seared until golden, juicy, and lightly charred for a smoky touch. Sliced and layered over the dressed greens, the chicken adds a warm, savory element that perfectly complements the cool, crunchy lettuce.
Golden, crunchy croutons and a generous sprinkling of freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese finish the salad, adding extra texture and classic Caesar flavor. Sometimes, a soft-boiled or poached egg may be added for richness.
Served chilled or slightly warm, Chicken Caesar Salad is timeless, satisfying, and packed with bold, creamy, savory flavors in every bite — simple yet indulgent, just as a good Caesar should be.
