Chicken Parmesan Salad

My husband says that “more often than not, the tastiest food is the simplest”.

He should know because truth be told, he is an awesome cook (much better than me).

For lunch today, hubby made this tasty salad and so I must share-the recipe, not the salad. Sorry, I ate it all because it was so tasty.

Here’s what you’ll need:

boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1/2-1 per person

lemon juice

sea salt

pepper

garlic powder

dried or fresh basil

olive oil

pitas (or bread) 1/2 per person

grated parmesan cheese

shredded parmesan cheese

romaine and/or red leaf lettuce

optional:

Caesar dressing or whatever dressing you love

red onion

Here’s what you’ll do:

sprinkle both sides of chicken with lemon juice while pricking with a fork

sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper, and sea salt-again on both sides of chicken

next add basil to both sides

cook in a frying pan with a small amount of oil

hubby says be sure to cover with a tight fitting lid (he uses a saucepan lid) to keep the chicken from drying out

cook the chicken on both sides

Cut the chicken breasts into strips

While the chicken is cooking, take some of those frozen pitas out of the freezer. Thaw them slightly. Then cut them into triangles and brush lightly with olive oil. Next sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese. Cook them in a 425 oven until they are golden.

Divide the chicken onto plates of romaine and red leaf lettuce (or whatever lettuce you love, which hopefully is not iceburg). Next crumble the pitas on top of the chicken and then sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.

You can make this into a Caesar salad by mixing it all together with caesar dressing. We heartily recommend Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar because it is made with good ingredients and tastes so yummy.

Hubby also likes to add some red onion to his salad. Add whatever you desire
