This was fantastic! I work at a restaurant and they serve premarinated chicken breast for their c-salad and I always wanted to duplicate it, lets just say, this recipe is up to par or better. I followed the recipe as is, except I also added onion salt and blk pepper. I've actually made chicken like this before, but for some reason, this tasted much better (maybe it's because I cooked it over my new cast iron skillet). Anyhow, I just used the chicken, didn't follow the salad part, I like my own (romaine, carrots, red onions, feta, croutons, pepperocinis, tomatoes and cumcumber). I made a lot of the chicken, diced them up and froze them, so whenever I feel like a salad, it's ready to go in no time. Thanks for this keeper!

Loved it! I marinated the chicken in the marinade from the chicken tacos recipe found on this site and sauted the chicken in that with mushrooms and cajun spices. The rest of the recipe i kept the same. Soooo Goood. Added to the rotation.

What a great idea! I ended up using my own Caesar Salad dressing recipe (1 egg, pinch of dill, 1 tsp olive oil, 4 drops Worcestershire sauce, 2 T red wine vinegar, 2 T lemon juice whisked together and then add grated Parmesan cheese) but the Cajun Chicken made a great topping for it. Thanks!

I didn't have all of the required ingredients on hand, so I substituted a few things. Even with the (minor) changes, this recipe was great. The chicken had an excellent flavor. I saved some of the bacon to top the salad with. My husband liked it so much, he had me make it again later in the same week.

I loved it! But I used only half that amount of parmesan and bacon, and added some hearty crutons. A big hit at my house!

This was an excellent recipe. I made a few minor modifications and my boyfriend and friends ended up having me make a second batch. I cute the chicken into thin strips, warmed the olive oil in a cast iron skillet and then put 1 1/2 tbsp. of cajun seasoning in the skillet. We like Tony Chachere's (I think that's how you spell it) and LOTS of it. Then I put the chicken in and tossed it around in the seasoning until well coated. I sprinkled the chicken with lots of cracked black pepper and cooked for about 15 minutes until done. Then I diced it up and set aside. For the caesar salad I used 1 1/2 romaine hearts cut up in small pieces. I put croutons, parmesan, a little bit of bottled minced garlic, caesar dressing cracked black pepper and some salt in a large bowl an then tossed well. Topped with the chicken and served. It was great!

THIS SALAD WAS DELICIOUS. I DON'T EVEN CARE ALL THAT MUCH FOR CAESAR SALAD, BUT I LOVE THIS ONE. THE CHICKEN REALLY MAKES IT AND I MADE SURE TO USE REGULAR CREAMY CAESAR DRESSING INSTEAD OF LOW CALORIE. I HAD IT AS A MAIN COURSE, BUT IT WILL ALSO MAKE A GREAT SIDE.
