Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

  3. 3

    While chicken cooks, wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces and divide among 4 meal prep containers or serving bowls.

  4. 4

    If using grains, divide the cooked and cooled quinoa or farro among the bowls as a base layer or mixed with the lettuce.

  5. 5

    Top each bowl with sliced chicken breast, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and add croutons.

  6. 6

    For meal prep, store dressing separately in small containers. When ready to serve, drizzle 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing over each bowl, toss gently, and enjoy immediately.
