Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by shredding your rotisserie chicken, using two forks to pull apart the meat into bite-sized pieces. This should take about 5 minutes. Set the shredded chicken aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Thoroughly wash and dry your romaine lettuce to remove any dirt or grit. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to your bowl of prepared romaine lettuce. Gently toss the two ingredients together.
  4. Drizzle your choice of Caesar dressing over the chicken and lettuce mixture. Start with about half a cup, then carefully toss the ingredients together until everything is coated.
  5. Add a generous amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top of your salad, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm chicken. Next, scatter croutons for texture and crunch.
  6. For an invigorating finish, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad. A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper will also elevate the overall taste.
  7. Once everything is combined, serve your Classic Shredded Chicken Caesar Salad immediately while the chicken is still warm.
