Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
- 2 heads romaine hearts (torn into bite-size pieces)
- 1 cup croutons
- ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus additional for serving)
- lemon wedges (for serving)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic (minced )
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Steps
-
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, and dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and refrigerate until serving.
-
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F).
-
Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound the chicken breasts to ½-inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil and season with Cajun seasoning.
-
Place chicken on the grill for 7-8 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until no pink remains and the chicken reaches 165°F. Rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, croutons, and ⅓ cup parmesan cheese. Add dressing and toss to combine; you may not need all of the dressing.
-
Slice the chicken, and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and serve with lemon wedges.
