Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breasts, butterflied
  • Blackening seasoning
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 heads Romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Prepared Caesar salad dressing
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 cup Croutons

Instructions

  • Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add butter to skillet and heat until just before burning.
  • Season the chicken breasts and place in hot butter. Cook for about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side for about 3 minutes. Turn every 3 minutes after, cooking until the internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part.
  • Set the chicken aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is resting, prepare the salad. Cut the lettuce into 1/2" strips, tearing it apart and placing in a large bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese, salad dressing, and lemon juice. Toss them to coat evenly. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice rested chicken breasts into 1/4" strips. Add croutons and chicken immediately before serving.
