Directions
Sarasota’s Light Version of Pasta Caesar Salad With Chicken, This originally came from a cookbook which I sold I think Cooking Light or Prevention Magazine, but I just copied the recipe on a index card so this is all I have Besides I think I changed a few things along the way Well, regardless, I loved this because it combines all the flavors of a caesar salad without the calories The arugula bumps up the flavor and the dressing on this is light and simple but still full flavored Now originally it didn’t have chicken but one day I had 6 or so chicken tenders and decided to pan saute them and add it to the salad I love the extra flavor of the breaded chicken to the salad , This recipe deserves 5 stars for the great Caesar dressing alone It’s definitely one of the best homemade Caesar dressings I’ve had I did make some changes otherwise though used grilled chicken instead, added sun-dried tomatoes & kalamata olives, and pretty much increased the amount of everything else as the servings would be really tiny if I didn’t

Chicken -- I Set Down 2 Bowls. One With the Egg and One With the Bread Crumbs With the Salt, Pepper and Red Pepper. Now, Dip the Chicken in the Egg and Then the Bread Crumbs and Then Into a Saute Pan Heated to Medium High Heat With the Olive Oil. Cook All the Pieces Until Golden Brown on Each Side. They Should Only Take a Couple of Minutes Per Side. Quick Cooking. Remove and Set on a Plate Lined With a Paper Towel to Drain Any Grease. Cover With Foil or a Lid to Keep Warm. Tip: I Just Throw Mine in the Microwave, No Heat, the Closed Space Tends to Keep Them Warm Until the Salad Is Ready. |
