📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep the pasta water. Bring a large pot of generously-salted water to a boil over high heat.
2
Cook the garlic breadcrumbs. Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the garlic and sauté for ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the breadcrumbs along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl and set aside. Wipe down the sauté pan briefly until clean.

3
Cook the chicken. Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Using the same sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let it rest for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes, then thinly slice it into bite-sized pieces.
4
Cook the pasta. Cook the pasta in the salted water until just al dente. Strain the pasta through a colander, then rinse it with cold water until chilled.
5
Toss the pasta salad. Add the pasta, lettuce, chicken and Caesar dressing to a large mixing bowl and gently toss until evenly combined.
6
Serve. Serve immediately, garnished with the garlic breadcrumbs, lots of Parmesan cheese, and a few extra twists of black pepper. Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to ⏱️ 4 hours and then serve chilled.
