  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ½ cup Caesar dressing (light or regular)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Croutons, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making Lean Chicken and Avocado Caesar Delight Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil for extra flavor.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

3. Let It Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute for a more tender bite.

4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for easy mixing.

5. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce and diced avocado. Toss gently to combine.

6. Add the Chicken: Place the sliced chicken on top of the lettuce and avocado mixture.

7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad. Use more or less dressing based on your taste preference.

8. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor. Toss everything together gently to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

9. Add Croutons (Optional): If desired, garnish the salad with croutons for an extra crunch.

This simple process will yield a fresh and vibrant salad that is sure to please your taste buds.
