Ingredients
Scale:
1 large head of romaine lettuce, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups grilled chicken breast, sliced into strips or cubes
1 cup homemade croutons made from day-old bread
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
