1/2 c caesar salad dressing
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful chicken, marinate it in the Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • To make the Caesar dressing, use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
  • To make the croutons, use a good quality bread. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the croutons.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
