Salad

1 head green cabbage, thinly shredded
1/2–3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Grilled Chicken

1 lb chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
Salt and black pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic powder

Creamy Caesar Dressing

1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp anchovy paste (or 2 anchovy fillets)
1.5–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup water (to thin)

Bread Crumbs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp olive oil

PREPARATIONS

1. Prepare the dressing. In a bowl or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a creamy, pourable consistency. Set aside.

2. Prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat, allow to rest, then slice.

3. Prepare the Parmesan breadcrumb crunch. In a separate pan over medium heat, add olive oil, panko breadcrumbs, and onion powder. Stir continuously until golden and crisp. Reduce heat, add the grated Parmesan, and toss until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Assemble the salad. In a large bowl, toss the shredded cabbage with grated Parmesan cheese and the prepared dressing until evenly coated.

5. Finish and serve. Top the salad with sliced chicken, additional Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper, and the crispy breadcrumb mixture. Serve immediately.

For added depth of flavor, allow the dressed cabbage to sit for 10–15 minutes before topping with chicken and breadcrumbs.
