Step 1
Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 2
While the chicken cooks, chop the 1 head romaine lettuce, shred the 2 cups purple cabbage, peel and shred the 1 carrot, and slice the 1 cucumber into thin rounds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and cucumber slices. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice if you have it. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and 1 cup croutons. Serve immediately with extra dressing if desired.
