Caesar saladhas always been a big deal in my family.

My grandmother made it for special occasions, always serving it in a beautiful glass bowl with antique servingware.

All of that exposure to Caesar salad secured some pretty solid food memories for me.

Thats why when I became a full-blown adult (how did that happen?)

I found my own way to tap into that nostalgia.

How To Make Sheet Pan Chicken Caesar Salad

To keep things simple I buy chicken cutlets.

The thinner cut helps the chicken cook quickly, preventing it from drying up and turning rubbery.

The croutons start in the oven first.

Mix the oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

Spread the bread pieces out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle half of the oil mixture over the bread and toss to coat.

Bake until slightly toasty, about 5 minutes.

Give the croutons a toss then push to one side.

Add the cutlets to the other side and drizzle with half of the remaining oil mixture.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

Flip the chicken and drizzle with the remaining oil mixture.

Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, 5 to 10 more minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the chicken to a cutting board.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
