Caesar Salad with Smoked Chicken
Caesar salad is a popular salad that has many variations. I want to offer a very quick option with smoked chicken, so the salad will be prepared very quickly, as you do not need to spend time cooking the chicken, and the taste of the finished salad will be richer. The only thing is that it is very important to use a tasty dressing, then the whole Caesar salad with smoked chicken will play 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 tablespoons.
Preparation
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making the Caesar salad with smoked chicken. I use homemade dressing, but you can also use store-bought.
2. First, prepare the croutons for the salad. Cut the white bread into small pieces.
3. Toast the bread in a dry skillet over high heat; you can optionally add a little dried garlic and paprika. Toast until the croutons are crispy on the outside but still soft inside.
4. You can use smoked chicken fillet for the salad, but I prefer smoked ham as it is juicier. Remove the skin, separate the meat from the bone. Cut the meat into large pieces.
5. Grate the parmesan on a coarse grater.
6. Start assembling the salad. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear or cut them into small pieces for easy eating. Place 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. Finally, sprinkle with grated cheese and serve. You can also add cut boiled chicken or quail eggs, slices of fresh tomato to the Caesar salad with smoked chicken. Any additions make the salad more interesting, unusual, and original.
Enjoy your meal!
