1 Tbsp (15 ml) capers (optional)
Freshly cracked black pepper
Dressing:
3/4 cup (180 ml) whole-egg mayonnaise

Preparation
Tip: For an even quicker version of this recipe, use 2 cups of chopped meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of the chicken breasts. Use your favourite bottled Caesar salad dressing.
Grill chicken breasts over medium high heat until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads 165F (74C) – about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush romaine hearts with canola oil. Using a hot grill, grill hearts, turning once, just until grill marks appear (approx. 1 minute each side). Take care not to overcook, lettuce should still be crisp. Remove from heat to 4 plates.
Cut chicken into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange prosciutto slices, chicken, parmesan, croutons, and capers on top of lettuce.
To make dressing, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle over salad and top with fresh cracked pepper.
