Keto Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
It’s time to class up your boring Caesar salad! By grilling the inside of a fresh heart of romaine lettuce, you can add a new level of flavor and sophistication to your lunch. Homemade Caesar dressing is not only delicious, but it cuts out some of those questionable ingredients you come across on store bought salad dressing as well. This recipe is totally worth the effort!

Recipe Steps

24 min
Step 1
Prepare the chicken breast by pounding it to a 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle the first amount of salt and pepper over the exposed top.Step 2
Heat the first amount of olive oil in a medium or large skillet on medium heat. Place the chicken down in the oil, and cook it with the lid on for about 4-5 minutes per side. When the chicken is fully cooked, set it aside to cool.Step 3
Next, cut a romaine heart in half, lengthwise. Save one half for another time. Sprinkle the second amount of salt over the inside of the romaine heart. This will help bring out some of the moisture.Step 4
Quickly rinse out the skillet that was used previously. Simply give it a coating of pan spray, and then heat the skillet to medium heat. Place the romaine heart salted side down in the skillet. Cook the lettuce for about 4 minutes until the inside gets a browned crisp to it.Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat. At this point, slice your chicken into strips. You may remove the base of the romaine heart now if you wish.Step 6
To make the dressing, whisk together all the remaining ingredients (except for the final amount of parmesan).Step 7
Arrange your salad plate with the romaine and chicken. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients, and top your salad off with shaved parmesan. Enjoy!

If you miss croutons then you could use pork crackling ... Sorry, not sure of American choices but in the UK https://www.snafflingpig.co.uk/ have some fab flavour choices which are also great to use with a dip instead of chips over the Holidays

We grilled the chicken. Light salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Added more dimension to the chicken. We didn't grill the lettuce but not a fan of soggy lettuce. Only thing we will do different next time is to drizzle the dressing. Then shake in a container to cover more evenly. But overall delicious!!

Could also add the Parmesan wisps to replace the croutons that are traditionally in this salad as well

Yeah, I am not getting the grilled lettuce part. Think I will skip that step and add garlic but a good reminder of something good to eat

I use garlic infused oil so it doesn't add any carbs. 🤗
