This recipe was inspired by the Grilled Caesar Salad at Leaf in Charleston, SC. The dressing is addictive. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. The lettuce takes on a smoky aspect. And cheese...is cheese! I make this all the time and hope you enjoy the recipe!

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Preheat grill pan to medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients except for the olive oil in a food processor until thick and creamy. With the motor running, slowly stream in the olive oil. Mix until fully combined. Place dressing in serving bowl and set aside.
Step 3

Spray grill pan with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs on grill pan and sear chicken thighs until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place chicken in oven and roast for 18 minutes.
Step 4

Brush romaine hearts with oil place on the grill pan. Cook until all sides have grill marks, but lettuce is not wilted.
