Instructions

  1. 1

    Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until golden and internal temp reads 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  2. 2

    Make Caesar dressing: whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, and Worcestershire together. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Taste — it should be rich, tangy, and garlicky.

  3. 3

    For meal prep: layer romaine in containers with sliced chicken on top. Store croutons and dressing separately to keep everything crisp.

  4. 4

    When ready to eat, toss lettuce and chicken with dressing, add croutons, and finish with shredded Parmesan. Properly stored (undressed), this meal prep keeps for 4 days.
