Ingredients
chicken:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt + 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salad:
- 4 romaine hearts sliced down the center, stem intact

- 1/2 cup diced red onions
- 1/2 cup shaved parmesan
- Caesar dressing homemade or store-bought
- croutons crumbled bacon, chopped chives (as desired)
Instructions
- chicken: Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl, add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Add the chicken, coat both sides, and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Prepare the salad ingredients while the chicken marinates.
- grill: preheat the grill and spray with cooking oil if desired. Grill time will vary for the ingredients so start with the chicken. Let the chicken cook for 8-12 minutes or until cooked through, flipping halfway through to ensure even grilling. Let the chicken cool before slicing or dicing. Spray the romaine hearts with cooking spray and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt, grill for 2-3 minutes total or longer if you like your romaine cooked through more.
- assemble: Remove the stem from the romaine hearts and chop. Add the lettuce, sliced or diced chicken, and the remaining salad ingredients to a large bowl. Drizzle with Caesar dressing. Serve immediately.
