Phil's Grilled Chicken Caesar

There are two things that set this Grilled Chicken Caesar apart from the rest. The first is Claude's ® Brisket Marinade and the second is Cardini's ® the Original Caesar Dressing. One good size head of Romaine will serve 4. I use one breast per salad but you could increase that for heartier appetites. If you want to kick it up a notch ala Emeril make your own croutons.
