Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on the outside and cooked through (no pink inside), about 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While the chicken rests, chop the 1 head of romaine into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Cut the 1 large tomato into wedges and add to the bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the rested chicken into thin strips. Add the chicken to the bowl with the romaine and tomato.

  5. Step 5

    Pour 0.5 cup Caesar dressing over the salad and toss well to coat everything evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Shave the 0.5 cup Parmesan over the top and finish with a few cracks of black pepper. Serve immediately.
