Foster Farms Salad Recipes
 

Side dish or complete meal, the salad is an important part of a smart diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and veggies - and the low-fat, high-protein goodness of poultry.



Parmesan Chicken Caesar Salad
4 (1-1/2 lbs.) Foster Farms Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 large head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and torn into bite-sized pieces
1 cup Caesar-flavored croutons
1/2 cup bottled Caesar salad dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Serves 4.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In shallow dish combine 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and pepper.

2. Brush both sides of chicken breasts generously with olive oil, then coat them with bread crumb mixture. Pat gently to help crumbs stick.

3. Arrange chicken in a lightly greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and chicken is no longer pink when cut into. Remove breasts to cutting board and let cool several minutes.

4. Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl toss romaine lettuce with croutons, salad dressing and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Divide between four large individual salad bowls or dinner plates.

5. Cut chicken diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange one sliced breast across the top of each individual salad. Serve with warm buttered Italian bread and fresh fruit.
