Caesar's Chicken
The chicken in this Caesar salad is different because it's lightly breaded and baked to create a delightfully crunchy texture.
MARINADE
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
TO COMPLETE RECIPE
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 cup seasoned croutons
1 package (10 ounces) romaine salad blend (romaine with red cabbage and carrots)
1/2 cup bottled Caesar salad dressing
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Combine all marinade ingredients in zip-seal plastic bag. Add chicken, press out all air and seal bag. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a 9” x 9” baking dish with cooking spray.
Put croutons in plastic bag, finely crush using rolling pin or other flat object.
Remove chicken from bag and discard leftover marinade.
Place each chicken breast in crouton mixture and press firmly; turn to coat other side, again pressing firmly.
Arrange chicken in single layer in prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining crouton mixture over chicken. Bake about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked.
For each serving, put about 2 cups of romaine salad blend on a plate, top with a chicken breast, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of dressing.
Toss Parmesan with lettuce, dressing and chicken or sprinkle it on top, if preferred.
This salad doesn't require croutons because of the light and crispy breading on the chicken.
1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic may be substituted for minced fresh garlic.
