Grilling a Caesar salad adds smoky flavour to a classic, elevating taste and texture. Grill a double batch of chicken so you have leftovers for another meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 pkg Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce
  • Sea Salt, optional, to taste
  • Black Pepper, optional, to taste
  • 1⁄4 cup Caesar Dressing, prepared
  • 2 tbsp Caesar Dressing Mix
  • 2 tbsp light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1⁄4 cup olive oil
  • 1⁄4 cup milk, your choice
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves, optional
  • 1⁄4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Rub chicken with oil. Shake seasoning on both sides.
  3. Grill, with lid closed, 4–5 min per side, or until cooked through. Remove from grill and set aside; cover to keep warm.
  4. Lower grill to medium heat.
  5. Wash lettuce and quarter lengthwise, leaving the stem intact. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  6. Cook wedges, cut-side down, 1–2 min on each cut side, until grill-marked.

  8. Slice chicken and divide between plates. Top with pesto sauce, if desired.
