Caesar Salad with Smoked Chicken
Caesar Salad is a popular salad that has many variations. I want to offer a very quick version with smoked chicken, as the salad will be prepared very quickly since there’s no need to spend time cooking the chicken, and the flavor of the finished salad will be more intense. The only thing is it’s very important to use a tasty dressing; then the entire Caesar Salad with smoked chicken will shine with new shades of flavor.

Ingredients
- lettuce leaves – 6-8 pcs;
- smoked chicken – 200 g;
- Parmesan – 50 g;
- white bread – 2-3 slices;
- Caesar salad dressing – 2-3 tbsp.
Preparation
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making Caesar Salad with smoked chicken. I use homemade dressing, but you can also use store-bought.
2. First, prepare croutons for the salad. Cut the white bread into small pieces.
3. Toast the bread in a dry pan over high heat; if desired, you can add a little dried garlic and paprika. Toast until the tops are crispy but still soft inside.
4. You can use smoked chicken fillet for the salad, but I prefer smoked ham as it’s juicier. Remove the skin, and separate the meat from the bone. Cut the meat into large pieces.
5. Grate the Parmesan on a coarse grater.
6. Let’s start assembling the salad. Rinse the lettuce leaves and dry them. Tear or cut them into small pieces for easier eating. Arrange the salad on a flat plate.
7. Drizzle a small amount of dressing on top.
8. Then add the pieces of chicken and croutons. Drizzle with dressing again.
9. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and serve. You can also add boiled chicken or quail eggs cut into several pieces, slices of fresh tomato to the Caesar Salad with smoked chicken. Any additions make the salad more interesting, unusual, and original.
Enjoy your meal!
