About this Recipe
By: Christina Hills
Cobbled together from a couple of New York Times recipes, I created this Chicken Caesar Salad recipe.
I will add photos next time I make it again. I use chicken tenders because the price per pound is cheaper than breast meat and tastes just as good, if not better!
