01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12.3 oz), cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
02 - In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
03 - Thread one piece of chicken onto each skewer. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Let rest for 2 minutes.
04 - On each skewer, place a romaine leaf, followed by a grilled chicken cube, then finish with a crouton.
05 - Arrange skewers on a platter, drizzle with Caesar dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Each skewer is a complete bite of flavor, no fork or plate needed.
  • The chicken stays juicy because you grill it fast over high heat.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble right before guests arrive.
  • Kids actually eat salad when its on a stick and tastes like Caesar.
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the grill or the chicken will steam instead of char.
  • If your croutons are small, use two per skewer so they dont fall off.
  • Assemble these no more than 10 minutes before serving or the lettuce will start to wilt.
03 -
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes before grilling so they dont burn.
  • Warm the Caesar dressing slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds so it drizzles smoothly.
  • If you want extra garlic flavor, rub the romaine leaves with a cut clove before assembling.
