Our Grilled Chicken Caesar is far lighter, and just as good, as the popular full-fat version.

Makes 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 cups washed, dried and torn romaine lettuce
1 cup fat-free croutons
1/2 cup Caesar Salad Dressing (recipe follows)
1/2 cup Parmesan curls (see Tip)
Lemon wedges

1. Prepare a grill or preheat broiler.
2. Rub chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil chicken until browned and no trace of pink remains in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
3. Combine lettuce and croutons in a large bowl. Toss with Caesar Salad Dressing and divide among 4 plates. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch slices and fan over salad. Top with Parmesan curls. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
