Chicken Caesar Kebabs with Grilled Corn

We had an abundance of lettuce from our CSA (like standing on the side of the road, handing out heads of lettuce abundance), so I decided to turn the Romaine into something Caesar salad, since my husband enjoys it so much.  I stumbled across this recipe on the Rachael Ray website; my husband actually ended up making it, too. 

This was an absolutely delicious meal.  My husband raved about it; it was his first time grilling corn, and while I don't think it came out as well as he'd hoped, it was delicious nonetheless!  The dressing on the chicken and the salad was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.... this from someone who is not a fan of Caesar salad!

A perfect summer meal!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
• 2 large cloves garlic, smashed
• Salt and pepper
• 3 large boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 ears corn, husked and halved crosswise
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
• 2 romaine lettuce hearts, cut crosswise into ribbons

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, mustard, anchovy paste, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; transfer half of the vinaigrette to a small bowl, discarding any large pieces of garlic. Add the chicken to the remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
2. Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Thread the chicken onto four 10-inch skewers and discard the marinade. Place the chicken kebabs and the corn on the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and the chicken is firm, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the corn with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the corn and chicken with 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese.
3. In a bowl, toss the romaine with the remaining vinaigrette and 2 tablespoons cheese. Serve the kebabs with the salad and corn.
