Ingredients

Caesar Dressing:

3 cloves garlic
2 anchovy filets
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (1 ounce) chunk Parmesan cheese
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Salad:

8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 pound Romaine lettuce
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup croutons

Directions

Add garlic cloves, anchovy filets, mustard, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and Parmesan cheese to the jar of a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix). Blend on high until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour half the dressing into a lidded glass jar; refrigerate dressing until ready to use. Pour remaining dressing into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, reseal the bag, and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
Preheat a gas grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
Grill chicken on the preheated grill with lid closed, until browned and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove chicken to rest on a plate for 10 minutes; slice into strips. Refrigerate chicken strips until chilled.
To assemble, roughly pull Romaine lettuce apart into bite-sized pieces. Pour chilled dressing over lettuce, toss. Divide salad onto 4 plates, top with croutons, shaved Parmesan and chicken strips. Enjoy!
