CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Chicken Caesar Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Depending on the flavor and thickness of the brand of dressing you buy, you may want to consider adding a little lemon juice to it before tossing it with the salad. Lemon can really brighten the flavor and/or thin thicker dressings (thus requiring less dressing). Be careful, though-some brands are already pretty acidic, so adding lemon juice may make the dressing sour. Buy prewashed lettuces to save time.

Yield makes 1 (3 1/2-cup) serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups bagged romaine
4 ounces Basic Grilled Chicken (see page 219) or lean store-bought grilled chicken breast strips
1/2 ounce (scant 1/4 cup) sun-dried tomato strips, or about 6 rehydrated sun-dried tomato halves (not oil-packed), cut into strips
10 fat-free herb-seasoned croutons (I used Marie Callender's Fat-Free Herb Seasoned Croutons)
2 tablespoons bottled light creamy Caesar salad dressing (one that has 8 g of fat or less per 2-tablespoon serving; I used Ken's Steakhouse Light Creamy Caesar)
1 teaspoon reduced-fat grated Parmesan cheese (look for it in a plastic canister or jar, not in the refrigerated section)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste, optional

Steps:

  • Toss the lettuce, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, croutons, and dressing in a large glass or plastic mixing bowl until well combined. Top with Parmesan and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD



Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad image

Depending on your appetite, this variation on a classic Caesar salad with grilled chicken makes an excellent first-course or a full-on meal. Hitting the lettuce with a little fire is an unexpectedly brilliant trick; the green leaves char and crisp and the insides become slightly tender, but you still get the satisfying crunch everyone loves about romaine. If you're a pescatarian, try it with grilled tuna, salmon or scallops.

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 salt-cured anchovies, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds skinless and boneless chicken breasts
2 hard-cooked eggs
1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 heads romaine lettuce
4 slices whole-grain bread, without crusts

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add anchovies and cook on low, stirring, until they fall apart and meld with the oil. Place in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and remaining olive oil.
  • Place chicken in a bowl, add 1/4 cup of the olive oil dressing, turn to coat chicken breasts, cover and set aside to marinate 2 hours, longer if refrigerated.
  • Separate egg whites and yolks. Place yolks in a small dish, add a little of the dressing, blend until smooth and mix in with the rest of the dressing. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Dice whites and keep them separate.
  • Light a grill. Remove any tired outer leaves from the romaine, then quarter each head vertically. Place on a large platter and drizzle cut sides with a little of the dressing. Grill romaine close to the heat source, turning clusters of leaves and any individual leaves so they wilt a little and become lightly charred. Remove. Place bread on grill and sear to toast. Remove. Place chicken on grill and cook, turning a few times and basting with the marinade until cooked through, about 15 minutes. It's best to grill chicken away from the source of heat so it does not char.
  • Coarsely shred romaine onto a large rimmed platter. Dice toasted bread and add it, along with the egg whites. Drizzle with about half the dressing. Slice the chicken about 1/2-inch thick, arrange it over the romaine and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve warm.
