Easy Chicken Caesar Salad

This meal seriously only took me 15 minutes. I took 3 smallish chicken breasts and seasoned them with garlic powder, and lemon pepper and cooked them in a frying pan on the burner about 5 minutes on both sides (frozen). Then while it was cooking I put together some lettuce, croutons, parmesan, shredded cheese, and a little caesar salad dressing. Then I just cut the chicken in cubes and added it to the salad. It was delicious, very inexpensive, and sooooo easy. Did I mention delicious?
