Ingredients
Grilled Chicken
- 1- 1 ¼ lb chicken breast boneless
- 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Salad
- sourdough croutons
- caesar dressing
- 1 head romaine lettuce chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Parmesan Cheese shaved, fresh
Instructions
- Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
- While chicken is marinating, bake sourdough croutons.
- While croutons are baking, make dressing by blending all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade. Heat a grill or grill pan. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink. You want the internal chicken temperature to be 165°F.
- Assemble salad by adding a bed of romaine lettuce to two bowls. Add sliced chicken breast, sourdough croutons and shaved parmesan. Drizzle with caesar dressing and enjoy!
