#857 - Barbeque Chicken Caesar Salad

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 bottle Caesar salad dressing
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch romaine lettuce (washed in cold water and broken into bite sized pieces)
1 box Caesar salad croutons
1/2 cup real bacon bits
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 bottle Kraft (or your favorite brand) barbeque sauce
salt and pepper to your taste

Poke the chicken breasts with a fork all over and on both sides. Place the barbeque sauce in a Ziploc bag with the chicken breasts--zip the bag and shake to coat. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator a few hours, then cook chicken on a grill. Make sure as you're grilling the chicken to pour the extra barbeque sauce left in the bag on the chicken as it grills. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper as it cooks on the grill. When done, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. In a large salad bowl add the romaine lettuce and Caesar dressing (as much as you like)--toss to coat. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and real bacon bits on top of the salad. Sprinkle the croutons on top. Arrange the chicken pieces on top.
