Chicken Caesar Salad

Last night for family day dinner I made a Chicken Caesar Salad. Sometimes when Im not in the mood to cook a big meal for dinner, I make this simple but really delicious salad which comes packed with protein. Next time you feel like a light dinner try this you'll love it! Heres what you will need:

- 1 pack of Hearts of Romaine lettuce
- Caesar dressing (I made my own for this salad, find recipe below)
- Croutons (whichever you prefer)
- Parmesan cheese
- EVOO
- Boneless, skinless Chicken breast
- S&P

For the caesar dressing:

- 3 medium sized garlic cloves (crushed)
- 1 splash of worcestershire sauce
- 1 splash of tobascco (hot sauce)
- Approx 5 squeezes of mayonnaise (this can be substituted for 1 egg yolk)
- EVOO (don't be shy, caesar sauce requires lots of EVOO - about half a cup)
- 2 splashes of White Wine Vinegar (this can be substituted for freshly squeezed lemon juice)
- S&P
- Parmesan cheese (11/2 teaspoons)

*Season your chicken breast with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and throw it on the grill until it is golden brown in color
*Let the chicken cool off for about 5 minutes before slicing it in your salad
*Mix your lettuce leaves and the caesar dressing you made before throwing in your sliced chicken
*Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper and your ready to serve!

Enjoy,

Being a hands on person, the way I actually got into cooking and making various dishes was by watching my mother cook and then doing it myself. To this day I continue to enjoy cooking & trying new recipes. My culinary desire has stemmed from personal interest & I am proud to say that each and every dish I make is without any help or cooking lessons.
