Chicken Caesar Salad


Chicken caesar salad is a tasty, healthy option for lunch or dinner. Also, a good one to take on the go to classes. I've never enjoyed eating salads but this one is full of flavour and fills you up. What you add to this is optional, I've added a few things to make it my own but this is how I enjoy it best. 

Ingredients you will need for this meal are:

  • Chicken breast
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Chorizo ring
  • Parmesan
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Garlic granuals
  • Croutons 
  • Caesar dressing
For a more traditional caesar salad, drop the chorizo and cajun seasoning. I like adding a bit of extra meat and flavour when having this meal for dinner.
Note: I buy all my ingredients from Aldi (a cheap supermarket which is great for students). 

Cooking instructions: 

Start by dicing up your chicken breast and chorizo ring (as much of each as you require). Add your chicken to a medium heat pan with a dash of oil. Fry the chicken for five minutes before adding cajun seasoning, garlic graduals and the chopped chorizo to the pan. Fill your bowl or plate with a couple of handfuls of chopped lettuce and add a few croutons. Add a drizzle of caesar dressing to this before adding your chicken and chorizo. Finish with more dressing and croutons. Sprinkle with some grated parmesan, give it a mix and you are ready to eat!
