Caesar salads are one of my favorite classic salads. I made this recipe to make one of my go-to flavors easier. Simply mix all the ingredients into a bowl and marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours.
I like to marinate my chicken for as long as possible to get all the flavor and juices out of it, so I marinate these the night before I make them. I serve them with some mixed greens and a drizzle more of the caesar dressing!
