Description

Crisp romaine, shredded Brussels sprouts, kale, and juicy marinated chicken are tossed together with grape tomatoes, crunchy croutons, and Parmesan — all tied together with a creamy, tangy Caesar dressing.


Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups Caesar dressing (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
  • 2 cups shredded Tuscan kale
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • Croutons, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a zip-top bag or shallow bowl and pour 1 cup Caesar dressing over it. Marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove chicken from marinade and discard used dressing.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
  5. In a large bowl or platter, toss romaine, Brussels sprouts, kale, and grape tomatoes.
  6. Top with sliced chicken, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Drizzle with remaining Caesar dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Use a mix of lettuces for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve with extra dressing on the side if desired.
