If you’re looking for a lighter take on a classic Caesar salad that includes some extra veggies, you’re in the right place. These Chicken Caesar Zoodle Bowls pack in all the flavors you love with a nutritious twist.
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing, homemade or store-bought
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Croutons, lemon wedges, anchovy fillets
Instructions
- Start by making your zoodles: using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a sharp knife to create thin strips.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the zoodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook them as they can become mushy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked zoodles with the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cooked chicken. Toss with the Caesar dressing until everything is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to serving bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. If desired, add croutons for some crunch and garnish with lemon wedges and anchovy fillets.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and refreshing Chicken Caesar Zoodle Bowl!
