Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe

This grilled chicken salad is fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. Juicy, perfectly seasoned grilled chicken sits on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan, all tossed in a creamy dressing. It’s the kind of salad that eats like a meal. Satisfying, balanced, and perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

For the Grilled Chicken:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Juice of ½ lemon

For the Salad:

2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional, if you want extra freshness)
1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

For the Creamy Dressing (Caesar-style):

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2–3 tablespoons olive oil (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 20–30 minutes (longer if you have time — up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
