1 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Greens
Romaine lettuce for serving (about 6 cups chopped)
Instructions
Prepare the crockpot: Place 2 lbs of chicken breasts evenly in the crockpot insert to ensure even cooking.
Add dressing: Pour 1 cup of Caesar dressing over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated for maximum flavor.
Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
Shred chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks or meat claws.
Assemble salad: Arrange chopped romaine lettuce on plates or a serving dish, top with shredded chicken, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a lower fat version, use a light Caesar dressing or reduce the amount used.
Add croutons or cherry tomatoes for extra texture and flavor in the salad.
If you prefer, the chicken can be cooked on high for about 3-4 hours instead of 6 hours on low.
Be sure to shred the chicken while still warm for easier handling and better absorption of flavors.
This dish can be served warm or chilled according to your preference.
