Low Carb Caesar Salad with Chicken

A delicious, guilt-free rendition of a classic Caesar salad with succulent chicken and a homemade dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 6 cups Romaine Lettuce
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Crisps
  • 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 ounce Anchovies in Olive Oil (4 Anchovy Filets)
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  2. Whisk together the mayo, grated parmesan, minced anchovies, chopped garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Chop your romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for parmesan crisps. Drop small heaps of grated parmesan onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken thinly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the romaine, sliced chicken, and dressing. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Scoop your salad onto plates or bowls and top with extra grated parmesan and parmesan crisps.
  7. Dig in and enjoy!

Notes

Dress the salad just before serving to avoid soggy lettuce. You can make the dressing in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
