Chicken Caesar Salad with Home-Toasted Croutons was a dinner recipe selection in the Cozi Family Dinner Club, where we share family dinner recipes and then talk about how they went. Join the Dinner Club to get dinner ideas delivered to your inbox, members-only giveaways and more.

Thanks to Dinner Club member Zippora S. for sharing the recipe! She says it's easy, uses up leftover chicken, works as salad or pasta, and the kids eat it up (which is the #1 reason she makes it).

The classic Chicken Caesar Salad might just become a staple at your house. Whip up the quick homemade dressing and fresh toasted croutons and you've got a delicious main dish salad.
