LEMON GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Category: Salads - Meat

Lemon Grilled Chicken
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
3-4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breasts so they are the same thickness throughout. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Heat the grill to 350- 400 degrees and grill the chicken over medium heat for about 7 minutes per side. Cool and refrigerate.

Chicken Caesar Salad
2 large heads romaine lettuce
2 grilled chicken breasts, chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup garlic croutons (store bought)
1/3 cup bottled caesar salad dressing (we like Ken's)

Wash the lettuce well, tear into bit size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the chicken, cheese, croutons and enough dressing to coat well. Toss and serve.
