Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup extra-light olive oil (do not use extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1-1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 bunch romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 to 1-1/2 cups croutons
Directions
- Heat grill. Add chicken, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until meat reaches 165 F in the thickest part, turning once. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices.
- Combine mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. With processor running, slowly pour in oil, and continue processing until dressing is thick and creamy. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan, and pulse to combine.
- In a large bowl, toss together lettuce and croutons.
- Divide salad among 4 plates. Top each with chicken and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle dressing over the top.
