Cooking steps
1
  • Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium heat. (TIP: If using a grill pan, you’ll heat it in Step 2.) Wash and dry produce.

  • Quarter lemon. Halve lettuce lengthwise, keeping the root intact.

2
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until about ½ inch thick. Season all over with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Add chicken to grill; grill until cooked through and lightly charred, 3-5 minutes per side (grills can vary). Transfer to a cutting board.

  • Squeeze one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings) over chicken. Tent chicken with foil to keep warm. 

  • GRILL PAN ALTERNATIVE: Heat a well-oiled grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken as instructed.

3
  • Increase heat to high. Add lettuce, cut sides down, to grill; grill, undisturbed, until charred, 30-90 seconds (grills can vary)

  • Transfer to a cutting board, grilled sides up. (Skip grilling lettuce if using a grill pan—it’ll taste just as great fresh!)

4
  • In a small bowl, combine Caesar dressing, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

5
  • Once cool enough to handle, trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop into bite-size pieces.

  • Transfer lettuce to a large bowl. Toss with as much dressing as you like; taste and season with salt and pepper. Add more lemon juice if desired.

6
  • Slice chicken crosswise. Lightly crush croutons in their bag.

  • Divide salad between plates. Top with Parmesan, croutons, and chicken. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
