Ingredients

  • 1 batch caesar dressing
  • 1 batch crouton keto
Chicken
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts 7 oz / 200g each, skinless
  • black pepper
  • salt
Salad
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce shredded + stalks removed (680g / 24oz)
  • 1.8 oz Parmesan Cheese 50g, shaved

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the low carb caesar dressing as per my recipe.
  2. Prepare the croutons as per my recipe.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. If the breasts are thick, bash them first with the end of a rolling pin to flatten the fat end. This will enable them to cook quicker and evenly.
  4. Drizzle the chicken in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan with the rest of the olive oil. Fry the chicken breasts for 4 - 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Don't move during cooking. Rest on a chopping board whilst you assemble the salad.
  5. Toss the dressing through the lettuce. Slice the chicken breasts and toss or slice on top with shaved parmesan and croutons. Option to finish with a sprinkling of cracked black pepper.

Notes

  • 5g net carbs per portion (2.5g net carbs salad & chicken + 0.8g dressing + 2.4g croutons). Makes 4 portions. 
  • The chicken, croutons and dressing can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge. Simply toss together with the salad and parmesan shavings when ready to serve.
