Italian · Serves 2
with Parmesan & Croutons
All hail this low-carb, quick-to-the-table lunch idea! It’s light, creamy, and full of texture, flavor, and crunch. You’ll dice up tender pre-cooked chicken and combine it with crispy croutons, Parm, and chopped lettuce, then dress it in a creamy, savory Caesar dressing and wrap it in baby romaine lettuce leaves. It’s a lunchtime coup the likes of which Brutus would be proud.
Wash and dry produce. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Roughly chop small center leaves. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch pieces. Lightly crush croutons in their bag using the bottom of a mug or heavy-bottomed pan.
In a large bowl, combine dressing, mayonnaise, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir chopped lettuce, chicken, and half the Parmesan into bowl with creamy dressing; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with chicken salad. Top with croutons and remaining Parmesan. Serve.
