Preparation

  1. Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, then season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  3. Lightly brush the romaine lettuce halves with 1 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 Tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. At the same time, grill the romaine halves cut side down for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp. Remove from the grill.
  7. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  8. Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a large serving platter and drizzle generously with the homemade Greek yogurt Caesar dressing.
  9. Top with sliced grilled chicken, croutons, and the remaining grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
