Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
I know what you are thinking. "Chicken Caesar Salad with a can of Cream of Chicken soup? YUCK" It was skeptical too, but it was surprisingly good! I marinated the chicken for a few hours and then grilled it outside. You can also cook it in the skillet or the oven. The chicken had a nice touch of lemon and it paired perfectly with the salad and dressing. Now, the dressing was more Italian than true Caesar (no anchovies). Either way, it was really good and I would definitely make this again.
