  • 1 lb cheese tortellini Cooked before griddling.
  • 4 tbsp olive oil Use 2 tbsp for the chicken and 2 tbsp for the tortellini.
  • 4 cup romaine lettuce Chopped.
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing Toss on the griddle.
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese Grated/shaved.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved.
  • 1 Croutons For topping.
  • 0.25 Salt and pepper To taste.
  • 1 Lemon wedges For serving.

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone griddle

Method
 

Griddle chicken
  1. Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add sliced chicken breast and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes until golden and cooked through, flipping as needed for even browning. Move the chicken to the side when done.
Crisp the tortellini
  1. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the griddle. Add the cooked tortellini and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy and golden.
  2. Toss the chicken and tortellini with Caesar dressing on the griddle for 30-60 seconds. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated.
Serve
  1. Serve the chicken and tortellini over chopped romaine lettuce. Top with Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, croutons, and lemon wedges.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the griddle at medium-high so the tortellini gets golden edges without drying out the chicken. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 3 days; reheat on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the romaine and Caesar dressing texture may break. For a lighter swap, use a reduced-fat Caesar dressing (taste still stays close to classic).
