Ingredients

GRILLED CHICKEN

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice

2 Tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

SALAD

Sourdough Croutons

Caesar Dressing

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Fresh parmesan, shaved

Instructions 

• Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

• Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.

• While chicken is marinating, bake sourdough croutons.

• While croutons are baking, make dressing by blending all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

• Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade. Heat a grill or grill pan. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink. You want the internal chicken temperature to be 165°F.

• Assemble salad by adding a bed of romaine lettuce to two bowls. Add sliced chicken breast, sourdough croutons and shaved parmesan. Drizzle with caesar dressing and enjoy!
