- For the Salad
- Toss salad with dressing and croutons just before serving.
- For the Chicken Breasts
- Season chicken breasts with olive oil, and brush with a mixture of honey and mustard as well as coarse salt and pepper.
- Grill on a very hot, preheated grilling pan. Only turn once browned on that side. Grill approximately 3-4 minutes each side.
- Slice into thin strips and serve with the Caesar salad or serve the salad on the side with the chicken breasts whole on the plate.
NOTE: You can brush the breasts with some mustard whilst grilling to add extra flavour.
