Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts grilled and sliced
Crispy Rice
  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Salad Base
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shaved
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.
Make Crispy Rice
  1. In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cooked rice and press down with a spatula to form a cake. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is crispy, then flip and cook the other side until crispy. Remove from heat and break into pieces.
Assemble the Salad
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and Caesar dressing. Toss well to coat.
  2. Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad, then sprinkle with shaved parmesan cheese and crispy rice pieces.
