Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. Quarter lemon.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto in a single layer; sear until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side (work in batches for 4 servings). TIP: If prosciutto starts to crisp too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve oil in pan (you’ll use it to cook chicken in the next step).
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat pan with reserved oil over medium-high heat. (TIP: Add another drizzle of oil if pan seems dry.) Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
In a large bowl, toss lettuce with dressing, half the Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper (large drizzle of olive oil and big squeeze of lemon juice for 4 servings). Crumble half the prosciutto into bowl; toss to combine. Taste and season with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper if desired.
Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
Divide salad between shallow bowls; top with chicken and remaining Parmesan. Crumble remaining prosciutto over top. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved the crispy prosciutto twist, though some found it overly salty. The lemon added a refreshing touch to the Caesar dressing 🍋.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with most having it on the table in about 25 minutes.
- Suggestions: Consider adding croutons, cherry tomatoes, or extra veggies for more texture and flavor. Some recommend seasoning the chicken beyond salt and pepper.
- Portions: Several mentioned needing more dressing; one packet wasn't enough for the amount of lettuce provided.
- Chicken: Some found the chicken cutlets unevenly sized, making them challenging to cook evenly. Consider pounding them to uniform thickness.
Reviews from our home cooks
Over the top delicious! So easy to make. I cooked the meats with my evening meal, then did the salad for lunch with my ex-husband.
Delicious, fast and easy (thank you for that!), and healthy. Also, I personally have to stay away from peppers of any kind, so I deeply appreciate that this meal is so delicious without having to rely on that ingredient.
This was one of the best meals we have had. It was absolutely delicious! Easy to make and quick too! Had it on the table in about 25 minutes. Would order this every week if available. Made a mess of my stove top but totally worth it!!
We really liked this one! It was different for us, but a welcome change for a summer weeknight meal. My teenager especially enjoyed it (the crispy prosciutto in particular).
The crispy prosciutto was delicious! I didn't expect it to be so filling.
Super fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed the twist on a classic Chicken Caesar Salad.
Very good, great ingredients and super tasty. Caesar dressing is fine, still like the other recipe you have better with the soy sauce and hot sauce in it. Kids liked some parts of this as well!
This was good, but seemed very salty to me. The prosciutto was part of the saltiness, but I should not have used additional salt.
The meal is good, but I would suggest baking prosciutto and chicken since you can get smoked out of your kitchen trying to cook the prosciutto as instructed. Not the best for people with breathing issues.
With bigger portions and changes to a recipe, sometimes there are adjustments that still need to be made that are overlooked. There's just not enough dressing for two portions of this salad, meaning that it's not only missing a layer of flavor, but it's also dry.
