Gluten Free Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad
This gluten free breaded chicken caesar salad uses romaine lettuce, homemade croutons, and store bought gluten free croutons. Crunching croutons are key to any good Caesar, but keeping it gluten-free is simple! Ditch the regular bread and grab a loaf of your favorite gluten-free variety, cubed and tossed with olive oil and herbs. Bake them up while you prep the dressing, and you'll have crispy, gluten-free croutons ready to join the romaine party.
