Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons caesar dressing homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the caesar salad:
- 4 romaine lettuce torn into bite sized pieces
- Shaved parmesan
- caesar dressing homemade or store-bought for serving
- croutons homemade or store-bought
Instructions
For the chicken:
- Add chicken to a plate and spread with caesar dressing. Wrap well with wrap and store in the refrigerator one hour to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425º F, remove wrap, and drizzle olive oil into a medium skillet over medium heat. Once oil begins to shimmer, add chicken and brown on both sides. Place in oven and bake until it registers 165º F when checked with an internal thermometer and the juices run clear when pricked with a sharp knife. Remove from oven, sprinkle with pepper and allow to rest about 5 minutes before slicing.
