Ingredients:

Serving

4 (4 oz) chicken breasts
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 heads romaine lettuce, washed and minced
8 roma tomatoes, 4 diced and 4 cut into wedges for garnish
40 white corn tortilla chips (optional)
3 hass avocadoes, diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp red chili pepper flakes
3 limes , juice of
4 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
2 tbsp italian parsley, minced
25 blue corn tortilla chips, for garnish
1/2 cup caesar salad dressing (or more to taste)

Directions:

To prepare blackened chicken: Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine blackening spices in a bowl.
Coat chicken lightly with spice mix. In a hot, cast iron skillet, cook chicken in oil, searing breasts on both sides. Reduce heat to low, cook till chicken is no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Remove and cool slightly; then slice into strips.
To assemble salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss together romaine, diced tomatoes, tortilla chips, avocado, all but a few teaspoons of cheese, (set remainder aside for garnish), salad dressing, chili flakes, lime juice, cilantro and parsley. Toss lightly to avoid bruising lettuce or possibly the avocado.
To serve: Divide salad among four large plates. Arrange blackened chicken slices on top of each salad; sprinkle each with a little remaining cheese. Place tomato wedges around outside of plate, alternating with blue corn chips.
