Chicken Caesar Salad with Griddled Chicken
Inspired by techniques from America's Test Kitchen and NYT Cooking.
This follows the classic Caesar method — the same croutons, creamy anchovy-mayonnaise dressing and romaine — topped with a griddled chicken breast per person, cooked to 74°C in the thickest part and sliced.

Why this label?
45.4 g protein for 686 kcal = 6.6 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 26% of the energy. High Protein needs at least 20% (5 g per 100 kcal), the condition in the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
EU nutrition claims
- Low sugars: 1.4 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
