Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 4 soft flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Return chicken to the pan to absorb the garlic flavor.
- Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before shredding it with two forks.
- Assemble tacos: Place shredded chicken in tortillas, drizzle with Caesar dressing, and top with romaine lettuce and Parmesan cheese.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
