Make the Caesar dressing
Assemble and serve the salad
Use a lean cut of chicken, go light on the dressing, and add more fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes or cucumber.
Omit the chicken and anchovies. Add roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi for protein and a pinch of capers for a salty kick.
Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken and pre-made croutons to save time on cooking and baking.
Add a hard-boiled egg to each salad for an extra boost of protein.
Grilled chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Romaine lettuce provides vitamins A and K, while garlic offers immune-boosting properties. Parmesan cheese is a good source of calcium.
Olive oil contributes monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health and can help reduce bad cholesterol levels.
It can be a healthy, balanced meal. It's rich in protein from chicken and vitamins from lettuce. The homemade dressing is healthier than many store-bought versions, but it is still high in fat and calories. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
A serving of this homemade Chicken Caesar Salad has approximately 550-650 calories, primarily from the chicken, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese in the dressing.
Yes, you can. For a similar savory, umami flavor, you can omit the anchovies and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a few minced capers.
There is a small risk associated with consuming raw eggs. To minimize risk, use pasteurized eggs, which are available in most supermarkets. Alternatively, you can look for a coddled egg Caesar dressing recipe.
Because it contains raw egg yolk, the dressing should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 2 days.
