After you make this Chicken Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad you will not go back to the traditional way again… I promise.
I used a store bought rotisserie chicken and a healthy caesar dressing to make this in one pan and was ready in less then 30 minutes.
Take your rotisserie and cut off one breast and chop up. Reserve the rest for another recipe.
In a large sauté pan over medium heat add in oil then bacon or pancetta. Cook until almost crispy then remove using a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
In the same pan with the oil and bacon fat over medium heat add in shallots and let cook for about 1 minute then add in brussels sprouts and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Use a large spoon to coat the oil and bacon fat with a brussels sprouts. Add in baby spinach then season with salt and pepper while cooking for about 2 minutes.
Add cooked bacon and chopped chicken into the pan and toss to combine. Remove from heat then pour in caesar dressing and toss.
*Note: To slice the brussels sprouts use a mandolin or slice very thin using a sharp chefs knife. You can add in more caesar dressing but start with 2 tablespoons then add in more a little at a time. Enjoy!
