Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 oz), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Assembly
- 12 small romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 12 large croutons (store-bought or homemade, about 1-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken skewers.
- Season Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated for flavorful grilling.
- Grill Chicken: Thread one chicken cube onto each skewer. Grill each skewer for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and lightly charred. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 2 minutes to retain juices.
- Assemble Skewers: Build each skewer by first placing a romaine lettuce leaf, then a grilled chicken cube, and finishing with a crunchy crouton.
- Serve: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter, drizzle evenly with Caesar dressing, and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure chicken cubes are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Use store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing based on preference.
- Skewers can be served warm or at room temperature.
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
