I feel like I’m behind on trying grilled romaine, but now that I’ve tried it, I’m hooked. It’s so simple – 3 minutes — and gives such good flavor! Brian loved the romaine without any dressing, but I topped mine with one of my go-to’s, Trader Joe’s green goddess dressing. We paired it with a lemon herb marinated grilled chicken and it was a delicious, light summer dinner!

Grilled Chicken
- Pound the boneless, skinless chicken breasts between sheets of parchment paper to make sure they're even in thickness. Place chicken in a bowl or ziplock bag.
