Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken dry, then rub with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat a pan over medium-high heat with olive oil and sear the chicken 4–5 minutes per side until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Rest the cooked chicken for 3 minutes, then slice into bite-size strips to keep it juicy.

  5. 5

    Tear romaine into large pieces, place in a bowl, and toss with two-thirds of the dressing.

  6. 6

    Plate the salad, top with sliced chicken, croutons, and Parmesan, then drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Tips

If the chicken breast is thick, butterfly it to reduce cook time and keep it moist.
Soak romaine in cold water for 5 minutes and dry thoroughly for longer crunch.
If the dressing is too thick, loosen it with 1–2 tbsp water for easier tossing.
