Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 15 ml olive oil
- 5 g garlic powder
- 5 g dried Italian herb blend
- 2.5 g salt
- 1 g ground black pepper
- 2 large heads romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
- 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- 40 g croutons

Instructions
- Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high temperature.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat, allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
