Servings 2
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • 10 inch skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast
  • salt
  • Trader Joe’s lemon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of a neutral oil
  • 1 bag 5 oz baby kale
  • 1 container Trader Joe’s Caesar Dressing
  • 1 bag Truffle Baked Cheese Bites

Instructions

  • Season the chicken generously with salt and lemon pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the pan. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown and it releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook until the second side is equally seared. Turn the heat to low and cover the pan (use a baking sheet if you don’t have a lid) for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is 165f internally. Place the chicken on a cutting board to rest while you assemble the salad.
  • place 5 ounces of baby kale in a large bowl and season with a big pinch of salt and lemon pepper. Toss in 2 tablespoons of caesar dressing at a time until dressed how you like it. Be sure to taste and season with more dressing, salt and pepper as needed. Slice the chicken and shingle it over the salad. Crunch up the bag of baked cheese bites and scatter them over top. Finish with another crank of lemon pepper and enjoy!
