Ingredients
Salad
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounces pasta
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 cups croutons
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar. Stir well until fully combined. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side without moving to sear. Carefully flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side. Reduce heat to low and cover the pan until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from heat and allow it to cool.
- Cook pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Roughly chop romaine lettuce, and set aside.
- Slice the cooled chicken into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large serving bowl add pasta, chicken, romaine lettuce, and dressing. Toss to fully coat the pasta and mix ingredients. Add parmesan and croutons and gently toss once more.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage & Make Ahead
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the dressing, chicken, and pasta in advance and store them separately in the fridge. Wait to add the other ingredients and assemble until you’re ready to serve it.
- Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad is best consumed within 2 days. If you anticipate having leftovers, keep the croutons and lettuce separate to maintain their texture.
