This is a combination of two concepts you have seen before on here. My favorite Caesar salad dressing, and grilling romaine on salads. It's a hearty and healthy salad. Because I use chicken thighs, they cook up quick on the grill so it's a super fast weeknight meal too.
- 1 package boneless skinless chicken thighs (about a pound) Trim them of fat
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- olive oil spray (like Pam)
- 4 heads romaine hearts
- 1/2 cup shaved parm
- 1 red onion sliced (big enough to grill but not too big, about 3/4 of an inch slices)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Create dressing by combing in a blender or food processor: lemon juice, dijon, anchovy paste, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Combine seasonings for chicken in a small bowl: oregano, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and granulated garlic.
- Sprinkle each side of the chicken thighs with seasoning blend.
- Cut each romaine heart in half and spray both sides with olive oil spray.
- Heat grill to medium high. Put chicken and onion slices on the grill. Turning each a few times. Chicken should be done in about 6 minutes each side. You want the onions to have a slight char to them.
- After you remove chicken from grill, throw the romaine on the grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes each side until it starts to char.
- Cut the chicken into thin slices.
- When you pull the romaine off the grill, place it on the plate. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.
- Divide chicken and onion slices among the four salads.
- Top each with shaved parmesan and dressing.
