Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 batch Homemade Caesar Dressing, divided
- ½ batch Air Fryer Croutons
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, shaved and/or grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the chicken to a food storage container, then pour ⅓ cup of the Caesar dressing (reserve the rest for the salad) over the chicken. Toss to make sure all sides of the chicken are well coated. Cover and allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for 2-4 hours.
- Prepare the croutons and allow them to cool while you cook the chicken.
- Pat the chicken dry, then sprinkle with the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the olive oil. Sauté the chicken for several minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Cover and allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing, while you prepare the salad.
- Wash, dry and chop the romaine lettuce and add it to a large salad bowl.
- Add the sliced chicken, croutons, parmesan cheese over the top of the lettuce. Pour on the dressing.
- Toss the salad to combine and serve while the chicken is still warm.
