Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Place chicken in a saucepan with garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary, add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken, let cool, and cut into strips.

  3. Meanwhile, place bread cubes on a baking sheet. Spray with butter spray, sprinkle with garlic salt and parsley.

  4. Bake bread cubes in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Turn cubes, spray again with butter spray and sprinkle with garlic salt and parsley. Bake another 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crunchy. Remove croutons, and let cool.

  5. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly browned and crispy. Remove bacon from skillet, drain on paper towels and crumble.

  6. Combine chicken, bacon, lettuce, and croutons in a large bowl. Toss with Caesar salad dressing and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again. Spoon salad mixture into pita bread halves.
