This vibrant chicken Caesar salad with crispy kale offers a sophisticated, nutrient-dense twist on the classic recipe. By swapping traditional croutons for golden, parmesan-baked kale and adding shredded Brussels sprouts, this dish provides a satisfying crunch and a wealth of vitamins. The homemade dressing is rich and velvety, using apple cider vinegar for a sharp, clean finish that perfectly complements the charred, succulent chicken breast fillets.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality proteins and leafy greens, making it a brilliant choice for a light yet filling dinner or a prep-ahead lunch. The addition of toasted pine nuts adds a delicate buttery flavour and healthy fats, ensuring the salad feels indulgent while remaining balanced. Serve it immediately after tossing to enjoy the contrast between the warm chicken and the crisp, cool greens.

How to make Chicken Caesar Salad with Crispy Kale
To make the dressing, place the egg yolks, garlic and mustard in a bowl and whisk until thick and creamy. Gradually add half the oil, whisking continuously until combined. Gradually add the vinegar and the remaining oil, whisking to combine. Set aside.
To make the crispy kale, preheat oven to 149°C (150°C). Place the kale, oil, parmesan, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to coat. Place in a single layer on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until crisp, and set aside.
Brush the chicken with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat. Cook the chicken for 2–3 minutes each side or until cooked through. Slice the chicken and place in a large bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach, and pine nuts and toss to combine. Divide between serving plates and top with crispy kale and the dressing to serve.
