Ingredients
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 300g total)
- 1 large head Romaine/Cos lettuce, chopped
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
- 150g plain Greek yogurt (high protein, 2% fat or full fat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: ½ teaspoon anchovy paste for traditional flavor
How to Make It
- Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry them over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice or dice it.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovy paste (if using). Taste and adjust with salt and pepper until it’s perfectly balanced and creamy.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped Romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and rinsed capers. Add the sliced or diced chicken.
- Dress and Serve: Drizzle the creamy yogurt Caesar dressing generously over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your satisfying, high-protein meal!
