Equipment

Ingredients

1 Pound boneless skinless chicken breast
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Teaspoons Cajun seasoning
½ Teaspoon salt
¼ Teaspoon black pepper
½ Cup Caesar dressing
2 romaine hearts chopped
¼ Cup croutons
¼ Cup parmesan cheese shaved

Instructions

Add chicken, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Toss until coated.
Preheat a large grill pan over a medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken to a plate to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
In 4 mason jars, evenly layer the Caesar dressing, sliced chicken, romaine, croutons, and shaved parmesan. You could also pour the dressing into individual dressing containers.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

Prevent wilting: Allow the chicken to cool before adding it to the mason jars, to avoid wilting the lettuce.
Order of stacking: Keep the dressing on the bottom and lettuce on top to maintain crisp lettuce.
Mix and match: Have fun trying new flavor combinations and adding your favorite salad ingredients to make it your own.
