In separate bowl, toss apple wedges and onion slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Heat griddle on stovetop on medium. Remove chicken from marinade and dispose of remaining marinade.

Grill apples and onions at one end of griddle and chicken at other. To prevent apples from burning, flip often and cook until golden brown and tender; about 5 minutes.

Grill chicken about 4 minutes on each side or until chicken is tender and cooked all the way through. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place chicken, apples and onions in large bowl.

Mix and blend dressing ingredients in small bowl. or use your favorite store-bought dressing.

Cut romaine heads in half lengthwise and cut off about 1 inch of green leafy end. Salt and pepper lettuce; then drizzle with olive oil. With the lengthwise cut side down, grill on griddle until starts to brown and wilt, about 3 minutes.

Serve by placing half head of romaine lettuce on each plate and topping with chicken, apples, and onions. Drizzle with dressing. Top with grated cheese if desired and serve warm.
