Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • Romaine Lettuce – fresh, enough for 4 servings
  • Grilled Chicken Breast – 2 medium-sized breasts
  • Caesar Dressing – 1/2 cup
  • Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup, finely grated
  • Croutons – 1/2 cup (optional)
  • Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon (optional)

Fries

  • French Fries – 4 cups (fresh or frozen)
  • Salt – to taste

Seasoning for Chicken

  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Grill them over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juicy. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Cook the Fries: Fry or bake your choice of fries according to package instructions or until golden brown and crispy. Immediately season with salt after cooking to ensure even flavor.
  3. Assemble the Salad Base: Tear the fresh romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large salad bowl. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss gently until all leaves are evenly coated.
  4. Add Chicken and Cheese: Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top of the dressed lettuce. Sprinkle generously with finely grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Add Croutons and Fries: Scatter crunchy croutons evenly over the salad, followed by a generous handful of warm, crispy fries to add texture and a salty crunch.
  6. Final Touch: Optionally, add a splash of fresh lemon juice over the salad to brighten the flavors, then serve immediately while the fries remain crispy.

Notes

  • Use fresh romaine lettuce for the best texture and flavor.
  • Let grilled chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Salt fries immediately after cooking for even seasoning.
  • Homemade Caesar dressing enhances freshness and richness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot fries and cold salad.
