The star of classic Caesar salads and a ready-made lettuce cup for chicken salad boats, raw romaine has a treasured place in restaurant cuisine. But did you know it's also tasty when grilled? Made with crisp, tender Organic Romaine Hearts from our friends at Earthbound Farm, this delicious recipe pairs the extra crunchy center, or “heart,” of each head of lettuce with a drizzle of our delicious Ranch Dressing. We love getting our organic greens from Earthbound Farm because they’re passionate about connecting people with high-quality ingredients—just like us!

Grilling the romaine first lends a subtle smokiness and a distinct charred flavor that really brings out the subtle sweetness of this popular veggie and contrasts beautifully with the cool, creamy flavor of our no-dairy ranch. Paired with toast and marinated grilled chicken, it’s a light and refreshing plate that leaves you in that perfect state of fullness between satisfied and needing to unbutton your jeans. We kept our veggies, chicken, and bread in their own corners of the plate, but you can also let the components mingle. Simply cube your bread before grilling on a grate, dice the chicken, and chop your romaine before dressing it for a more traditional salad with a crisp, chargrilled crunch.

Directions
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and cover liberally with our Caesar Dressing & Marinade. Shake to distribute the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).

Lightly spray grill grate with avocado oil. Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F).
Cut romaine hearts in half lengthwise. Brush generously with Primal Kitchen avocado oil. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Place the romaine seasoned side down on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes (you want it lightly charred with grill marks, not burnt), then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat. Season to taste, sprinkle parmesan over the top of each romaine half and and drizzle with ranch dressing.
For the chicken: Place chicken breasts directly on the greased grill grate. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

For the toast: Brush both sides of each bread slice with avocado oil. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until toasted.

Put it all together: Plate each chicken breast with 2 slices of toast and 2 romaine halves. Serve and enjoy!
