Instructions

If you haven’t already, make the homemade caesar dressing.
Next, turn your broiler to HIGH. Cut the bread into cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Broil for 3 minutes, then remove them, flip them over and broil for 2-3 more minutes until the bread is slightly golden.
Meanwhile, heat a grill pan (or nonstick skillet) over medium heat. Place the chicken onto a cutting board, place a piece of plastic wrap over top and pound the chicken to be even thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Spray the pan with nonstick spray, then add the chicken smooth side down and cook for 6 minutes. Flip over and cook for 2-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice.
Place lettuce into a large bowl, then drizzle the caesar dressing overtop and toss to combine.
Assemble the salad: distribute the lettuce into 2 bowls, then top with the chicken and croutons. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, drizzle with extra dressing and enjoy!
