👨‍🍳Method

1

Crisp the Prosciutto

3 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced beef prosciutto and toast it for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside.

💡No oil needed — the prosciutto renders its own tiny amount of fat as it crisps.
2

Sear the Chicken

12 min

Wipe the skillet clean, turn the heat to medium-high, and coat lightly with zero-calorie cooking spray. Season your chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest, then slice into thick strips.

💡Resting the chicken for 2 minutes before slicing keeps all the juices locked inside each strip.
3

Dress the Greens

2 min

In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Add your massive pile of shredded iceberg lettuce and sweet corn, then toss until perfectly coated. Spread the dressed greens wide across a large plate.

4

Assemble the King

1 min

Arrange your warm chicken strips in a star pattern over the greens. Sprinkle the crispy prosciutto bits evenly over the chicken.

5

The Microplane Snowstorm

1 min

Take your 10g of Parmesan cheese and grate it over the entire plate using a microplane or the finest side of a box grater. Finely shredding hard cheese creates a massive volume of airy "fluff," making a small amount look like an absolute blizzard of cheese.

💡Hold the microplane high above the plate and grate in slow, wide passes for the most dramatic, even coverage.
6

Finish and Serve

1 min

Drizzle your sugar-free balsamic glaze in thin, artistic streaks across the cheese and chicken. Place your quartered cherry tomatoes right in the center. Serve immediately!
