Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Transform the classic Caesar into a main-course salad by topping it with grilled chicken. Pounding the chicken breasts lightly before grilling helps them cook more evenly. Place each breast between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
