I was always frustrated at how I would have to go off route from my 2-hour commute to go buy fast food. My wife is a very difficult eater to please. During the week, my mother in law cooked dinner. My wife never seemed to be satisfied with what she cooked. Every week at least 2 or 3 times she would call me on the way from work so I would by her a grilled chicken Caesar Salad from, of all places, a fast food place. One day I just broke down and tried the sucker. To my surprise, it was good but it definitely would not blow anyone away.
The next time she called, I went to the local supermarket picked up some frozen chicken breasts, Romaine lettuce, a wedge of parmesan cheese, croutons and Briannas Home Style Asiago Caesar dressing. I came home threw the chicken breast in boiling water with some salt and once it was thawed I seared it in a grill pan. I rinsed the lettuce and cut it to the same width as the fast food place. I then tossed the lettuce with the dressing, that’s made with shredded Asiago cheese being careful not to use too much just covering the lettuce. After adding a handful of croutons and shredding some parmesan cheese on top, I had a Chicken Caesar Salad. This all took no more than 20 minutes. After that, I always kept some shredded romaine in water in the fridge and in 15 minutes, I would have the salad done.
This Chicken Caesar Salad recipe also gives you a great starter salad, minus the grilled chicken, you can have done in 5 minutes. My wife is still amazed you can do Chicken Caesar Salad at home so fast. I have a great way to say thanks at home in less than 15 minutes. This simple dish started my search for quick dishes I could prepare after a day’s work.
