Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the chicken, egg, garlic powder, red pepper, and ⅔ cup parmesan in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a dough-like texture.
Remove the “dough” from the food processor and form it into a large ball. Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten to form a round crust about ¼-½” thick.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the crust is firm and lightly browned.
In the meantime, wash, dry, and tear your lettuce into smaller pieces. Place them in a bowl. Add Caesar dressing and toss to coat.
Remove the chicken crust from the oven and set aside to cool.
Top with dressed lettuce, croutons, and a sprinkle of parmesan. Slice and enjoy!
