Ingredients
- 1 batch Caesar dressing
- 1 batch keto croutons
Chicken
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 skinless chicken breasts 7 oz / 200g each
- salt and pepper
Salad
- 1 large head Romaine lettuce shredded + stalks removed (680g / 24oz)
- 1.8 oz shaved parmesan 50g
Instructions
- Prepare the low carb caesar dressing as per my recipe.
- Prepare the croutons as per my recipe.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. If the breasts are thick, bash them first with the end of a rolling pin to flatten the fat end. This will enable them to cook quicker and evenly.
- Drizzle the chicken in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan with the rest of the olive oil. Fry the chicken breasts for 4 - 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Don't move during cooking. Rest on a chopping board whilst you assemble the salad.
- Toss the dressing through the lettuce. Slice the chicken breasts and toss or slice on top with shaved parmesan and croutons. Option to finish with a sprinkling of cracked black pepper.
