Grilled Chicken:
- 2 small chicken breasts boneless/skinless
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad:
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 crispy bacon strips crumbled
- ¼ cup shaved parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Make the chicken: Preheat your grill to 450°. Toss the chicken in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, coating evenly on all sides.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the chicken and cook an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165℉. Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, slice and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make a batch of homemade Caesar salad dressing (you'll have extra) and set aside.
- Add your lettuce to a large mixing bowl and toss with ¼ cup Caesar dressing. Divide the lettuce into 2 bowls, then top with tomatoes, bacon, shaved parmesan, croutons, and grilled chicken. Serve!
