Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Servings

6

Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat Caesar dressing, divided
  • 2 cups cubed French bread
  • Olive oil-flavoured cooking spray
  • 6 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag; pour 1/4 cup dressing over chicken. Seal bag, and shake until chicken is well coated. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag once.
  2. Coat French bread cubes with cooking spray; place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 175°C for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (175-200°C). Place chicken on rack; grill, covered, 5 minutes on each side or until done. Cut chicken into slices.
  4. Combine chicken, bread cubes, lettuce, and next 3 ingredients in a large serving bowl. Pour remaining 1/4 cup dressing over lettuce mixture, and toss well. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired.
