One of the things I love most about the spring and summer months is being able to use the outdoor grill and cook up quick and easy weeknight dinners. One of my favorite go-to dinners is my delicious and easy to prepare Garlicky Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad recipe.
Grilled to perfection, chicken with fresh garlic as the main ingredient, doesn’t get any more flavorful. For a fuss free entree, I arrange the chicken on a bed of romaine lettuce, croutons and instead of using parmesan cheese, I use the sweet and nutty flavor of asiago cheese and finish it off with a drizzle of caesar salad dressing.
Celebrate the warm weather, fire up the grill tonight and enjoy!
