This was so good! Instead of the lettuce in the recipe, I grilled split romaine hearts (from another cooking light recipe) and the whole thing was grilled! It was so good. I can't wait to make it again. I agree that the bread could use some flavor but it isn't bad the way it is, just toasted bread. Enjoy!
Grilled Chicken Caesar on a Skewer
Avoid overcrowding the skewers by spacing chicken and onion wedges about 1/4 inch apart. It's best to cook bread cubes by themselves so the bread doesn't come in contact with raw chicken. Thread them onto two skewers, spacing them 1/2 inch apart, so they will toast evenly on all sides.
