Buttermilk Chicken Caesar Salad

Hi everyone!

Here is a recipe for Buttermilk Chicken Caesar Salad that is from Martha Stewart.  I thought it looked tasty and I wanted to pass it along.



Buttermilk Chicken Caesar Salad
Lou - CallMeLou

1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
coarse salt
black pepper
2 (6-8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 slices multigrain bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 romaine lettuce heads cut into pieces
1/2 small radicchio, thinly sliced

Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup for salad and place remaining mixture and chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate chicken at least 15 minutes or up to one day. Meanwhile, make croutons by placing bread on prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut into 1 inch pieces and reserve baking sheet. Transfer chicken to baking sheet. Discard marinade. Broil until opaque throughout, about 14 to 16 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise and the reserved buttermilk mixture. Add romaine, radicchio, chicken and croutouns. Toss to combine. Serve immediately.
