Method
 

Chicken Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in a skillet until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
Dressing Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Salad Assembly
  1. Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl. Add the sliced cooked chicken, croutons, and shredded Parmesan cheese to the lettuce.
Final Toss
  1. Pour the prepared Caesar dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything gently until the lettuce, chicken, and croutons are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve
  1. Serve the Chicken Caesar Salad immediately as a fresh and satisfying meal.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can grill the chicken instead of pan-frying it. Homemade croutons can also elevate the salad. Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference and consider adding anchovy paste to the dressing for a more traditional Caesar flavor.
