Ingredients
1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
1 cup croutons (Twist: use crispy chickpeas for a healthier crunch)
6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Layer jars – In each quart-size mason jar, add 2 tbsp Caesar dressing first.
Add chicken – Place 1/2 cup chicken over the dressing.
Add crunch – Layer in 1/4 cup croutons or crispy chickpeas.
Add lettuce – Fill with romaine lettuce, packing lightly to keep it crisp.
Top with Parmesan – Sprinkle 2 tbsp Parmesan on top. Seal jars.
Serve – Keep jars upright until ready to shake and eat.
Notes
Twist: Swap croutons for crispy chickpeas for extra protein and a lighter crunch.
Meal Prep Tip: Keep jars upright so the dressing stays at the bottom and lettuce stays crisp.
