Description
A delicious and easy chicken Caesar rice bowl that combines all the flavors of a traditional Caesar salad with tender chicken and warm rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or microwaveable)
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- ½ cup croutons
- ¼ cup shaved or grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- If your rice is cold, give it a zap in the microwave for a minute or two until it’s warm-ish but not scalding.
- Add your cooked, sliced chicken on top of the rice. Or, mix it all in if you can’t be bothered to keep things pretty.
- Scatter the chopped romaine over next, then the cherry tomatoes if you’re using them.
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing all over. Toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle over the parmesan and croutons. Give it a few cracks of black pepper. Stand back and admire before demolishing. Add lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
Notes
- For a quicker option, use leftover grilled chicken thighs, which are juicier.
- Feel free to swap romaine for baby spinach.
- In place of croutons, toast torn sourdough in a pan with olive oil and garlic powder for an easy alternative.
