  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ½ cup Caesar dressing (light option if desired)
– Croutons (optional, for crunch)


Instructions

Creating the Lean Chicken and Avocado Caesar Delight Salad is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure they are evenly coated.
2. Cook Chicken: In a grill pan or skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
3. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
4. Chop Lettuce: While the chicken is resting, wash and chop the romaine lettuce, placing it in a large salad bowl.
5. Add Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice it into cubes. Add to the salad bowl.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced chicken on top of the lettuce and avocado, then sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salad as desired. Alternatively, serve the dressing on the side for individual preferences.
8. Toss Gently: Using tongs, gently toss the salad to combine everything without mashing the avocado.
9. Add Croutons: If desired, sprinkle croutons on top for added texture and crunch.

By following these straightforward steps, you will have a delicious salad ready in no time!
