My future Son-In-Law is quite a good cook and he made us the best chicken Caesar salad for Annie’s bridal shower this past weekend. I followed him around with my pen and paper and did my best to get things exactly as he didn’t measure anything. I consider myself to be a pretty good “traditional” Ceasar salad maker and most of our ingredients are the same. The difference was that he processed his in a Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender with 40oz Glass Jar and 3-Cup Vegetable Chopper, 12 Functions for Puree, Ice Crush, Shakes and Smoothies, Black and Stainless Steel (58149)” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener nofollow”>blender) while I just whisk my ingredients together. Blending the ingredients creates a very creamy dressing. I will be making mine this way from now on.

We started with grilling some chicken breasts that were just rubbed with a bit of olive oil. We then seasoned them with seasoning salt and cayenne pepper. When I’m home I grill or bake with oil and cajun seasoning. A chicken breast takes about 20 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven. After the breast is baked or grilled, it can sit, tented with foil.

While the chicken breast was cooking we cut the ends off of two heads of romaine. Then rinsed and set to dry on a paper towel.

Then we prepared the dressing and tossed all the ingredients together.

Chicken Ceasar Salad is such a great summertime meal. We don’t like our chicken warm from the oven or grill. It’s a great cold lunch or dinner on a hot day.

I’ve been on the search for new recipes. While this is new to us the dressing is different. I just loved the creaminess of it. This is also a 30-minute meal. If you make the dressing and prep the lettuce while the chicken is baking, you have a meal in under a half-hour. Serve with some crusty french bread and a cold glass of Pinot Grigio or Rose wine. Enjoy!
