Preparing the lettuce and vegetables

Begin by thoroughly washing the Romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes under cool running water. Pat the lettuce dry with paper towels, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Cooking the chicken

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool slightly before dicing into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the salad

In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced chicken, quartered cherry tomatoes, croutons, and sesame seeds. Toss gently.

Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss again to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top just before serving.
