- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk and add the chicken. Turn and submerge the chicken. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.¼ cup fresh lemon juice, ⅓ cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary, 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Cook the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat an oven-safe skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear on each side until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. When they are browned, place them in the preheated oven and roast until the chicken registers 160°F, 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover. Set aside, allowing the internal temperature to rise to 165°F.
- Assemble: Add the leaves of romaine and toss with the Caesar dressing. Slice the chicken and add it to the salad along with the croutons and more Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.1-2 heads romaine lettuce, 1 recipe Caesar dressing, 1 recipe croutons, grated Parmesan cheese
