Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 16 oz Rotini or Penne Pasta
  • 2 large heads Fresh Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 cups Garlic Butter Croutons
  • 1 to 1.5 cups Creamy Caesar Dressing
  • Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then grill for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  3. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and dry thoroughly.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into strips or cubes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped romaine, sliced chicken, and shredded parmesan.
  7. Add half of the Caesar dressing and toss to combine, adding more dressing to taste.
  8. Add croutons just before serving to keep them crunchy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the dressing and lettuce separate until ready to serve.
