Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and chop the 1 head romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add the sliced chicken, 1 cup croutons, and 0.5 cup Caesar dressing to the bowl. Toss well to coat everything evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Top with 0.5 cup shaved Parmesan and a few cracks of black pepper. Serve immediately.
