Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons
  • Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: soft-boiled egg, avocado slices, or bacon bits for extra toppings

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Rub them with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Cook the Chicken:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Assemble the Bowl:
In large serving bowls, layer the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and croutons. Add the sliced chicken on top.

Add the Finishing Touches:
Drizzle generously with Caesar dressing and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Add optional toppings like a soft-boiled egg, avocado, or crispy bacon for extra flavor.

Notes

 

  • Homemade Caesar Dressing: Blend mayo, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste (optional), olive oil, salt, and pepper for a creamy, rich dressing.
  • Grilled Chicken: For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken instead of pan-searing.
  • Spicy Kick: Add red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken seasoning for a spicy twist.
