Lean Chicken and Avocado Caesar Delight Salad: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: masterchef
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
– 1 ripe avocado, sliced
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
– Croutons (optional, for added crunch)
– Fresh lemon juice (optional, for serving)


Instructions

Creating Lean Chicken and Avocado Caesar Delight Salad is simple if you follow these organized steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-cook over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

2. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. This helps retain moisture.

3. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

4. Prepare the Lettuce: While the chicken is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large serving bowl.

5. Add Avocado: Gently slice the avocado and add it to the bowl with the romaine.

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

7. Dress the Salad: Pour the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss to combine everything evenly.

8. Finish with Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, and toss gently once more.

9. Optional Add-Ins: If desired, add croutons for extra crunch.

10. Serve: Drizzle fresh lemon juice over each serving for added flavor, if desired.

Following these straightforward steps will lead you to create an incredibly flavorful Lean Chicken and Avocado Caesar Delight Salad that is sure to impress!
