Reinvent the Caesar by roasting the lettuce to caramelize it, and jazz up store-bought dressing to make it taste like homemade.

Ingredients

1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup bottled refrigerated Caesar dressing
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon loosely packed lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
8 chicken breast tenders
2 romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings: Parmesan cheese, black pepper, flat-leaf parsley leaves, croutons

Instructions

Preheat broiler with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Place onion in water to cover; chill until ready to use.
Whisk together Caesar dressing and next 5 ingredients.
Brush both sides of chicken with 1/3 cup dressing mixture. Place chicken on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Broil 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Transfer chicken to a serving platter.
Place lettuce, cut sides up, on rack in jelly-roll pan; brush with olive oil. Broil 3 to 5 minutes or until browned and wilted.
Drizzle desired amount of remaining dressing mixture over chicken and lettuce. Drain onions; pat dry. Serve salad with onions, any remaining dressing, and desired toppings.
Note: We tested with Naturally Fresh Classic Caesar Dressing.
