Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season chicken breast with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Brush 1 tbsp olive oil over chicken and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1/4 cup grated parmesan in a thin layer and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. Step 4: Let parmesan crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: In a large bowl, combine 5 oz mixed greens and 1/4 cup Caesar dressing. Toss until greens are evenly coated.
  6. Step 6: Slice grilled chicken into thin strips and add to the bowl with the greens.
  7. Step 7: Top with cooled parmesan crisps and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
