Chicken or Shrimp Caesar Salad Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

Chicken or Shrimp Caesar Salad Recipe Created by Ruth Paget 

Note: Alone a Costco Caesar Salad is a great value. You can serve 4 people a large salad with it for less than $9 in California. I use one as a part of more protein rich salads in this recipe also using ingredients from Costco. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients: 

-1 Costco Caesar salad serving 4 to 6 people 

-4 (4-ounce) chicken breasts at room temperature 

-2 tablespoons olive oil 

-4 tablespoons steak seasoning 

Steps: 

1-Squeeze lemon juice on the Caesar salad and toss it to double up the volume of the salad. Sprinkle croutons across the top of the salad. Place salad dressing in a small serving dish alongside the salad. 

2-Heat a frying pan with olive oil in it on high. Add chicken breasts. Sprinkle with seasoning on both sides. 

3-Cook chicken for 15 minutes, turning several times to cook all the way through. 

4-Remove chicken from frying pan. Cut chicken breasts into cubes. Place in a serving bowl to go with the salad and dressing. 

Note: Coscto cocktail shrimp can be used instead of chicken in this recipe. Cut off the tail and cut the body in two. Place the shrimp pieces in a serving bowl alongside the salad and dressing.
