How to make it
-
Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper then place inside grill pan and grill until cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a cutting board then let rest for 10 minutes. Chop into bite sized pieces then refrigerate while you assemble the rest of the salad.
-
Add all of the Spicy Tahini Caesar Dressing ingredients to a food processor and pulse until smooth. This dressing will be thick; but if you need to add a little more water to thin it out, feel free.
-
To a very large mixing bowl add the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded Parmesan cheese, capers, freshly cracked black pepper, cooled pasta, and Spicy Tahini Caesar Dressing. Stir with a spatula to evenly coat. Add cooled chopped chicken then fold to combine and serve. Enjoy!
