- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the sliced chicken on top.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side if desired.
