Tips
When it comes to making a delicious and fresh chicken Caesar salad, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure the best result. If you are short on time, consider making the salad components in advance and storing them in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the salad. Boneless and skinless chicken breast is tender and juicy when prepared the right way. Look for breasts that are firm to the touch and have a bright and even colour. In general, make sure to always use fresh and high-quality salad ingredients to get the best overall flavour and texture.

Chicken Caesar salad with avocado and feta
Caesar salad is a classic dish, but our recipe has a few twists with added chicken, avocado, and feta, making it an even more delicious and rewarding meal. Our recipe for chicken Caesar salad features creamy avocado, salty feta cheese, and crunchy homemade bread croutons. The creamy avocado adds a rich and velvety texture to the salad and perfectly complements the tender chicken and crunchy croutons. A fresh dressing made from capers, anchovies, pickles, lemon juice, salt, and mayonnaise brings all the flavours and textures of the salad together, coating each bite with deliciously tangy and salty flavours.
Add feta for a delicious salty touch
Feta cheese is a popular addition to many salads, and it can transform a homemade chicken Caesar salad into a flavour-packed and satisfying dish. Feta cheese is soft, salty, and tangy, and serves as a sharp contrast to the creamy and rich flavour of the avocado. The saltiness of the cheese adds a pleasant balance to the other flavours in the salad and helps bring out the subtle sweetness of the avocado and the richness of the chicken, creating a delicious harmony and balance.
If you love the taste of feta cheese as much as we do, you should try our recipes for spinach cannelloni with bechamel sauce, quinoa salad with roasted vegetables, or a rocca salad with walnuts and pomegranate.
Make a filling classic Caesar salad with chicken
The simple addition of tender chicken adds a new level of flavour and texture and transforms this classic salad into a delicious, filling meal. The savoury, tender, and juicy meat complements the tangy and salty dressing and provides a nice contrast to the crunchy croutons and crisp lettuce. But the benefit of adding chicken goes beyond just taste and texture. It is a great source of protein, so this chicken Caesar salad will ensure that you are full and satisfied for hours.
Make it your own
Whether you are looking to add a touch of spice or experiment with different ingredients, there are many simple and easy ways to mix things up by making just a few small adjustments to our chicken Caesar salad recipe. Try adding a sprinkle of cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper to the chicken for a little bit of heat. For a bolder and more adventurous twist, incorporate Middle Eastern flavours into the dressing by adding coriander, turmeric, or tahini. It can give it a tangy and fresh flavour that pairs well with tender meat and crisp vegetables.
Another simple way to bring a new dimension of flavour to the salad is by grilling the chicken on the barbeque or a grill pan with ridges. Grilling the chicken more than you normally would on a regular pan adds a smoky, charred aroma and gives the meat a slightly crunchy texture that matches the crisp lettuce and creamy dressing. Marinate the meat in a mixture of your favourite spice, then grill it on high heat until it is cooked through. The result is a delectable grilled chicken Caesar salad packed with bold and vibrant flavours.
