Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a saucepan, place the chicken and add garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Pour enough water to cover the chicken.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let it cool. Once cooled, cut the chicken into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet.
Spray the bread cubes with butter spray, then sprinkle them with garlic salt and parsley.
Bake the bread cubes in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then, turn the cubes, spray them again with butter spray, and sprinkle them with garlic salt and parsley. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until the cubes turn golden brown and crunchy. Remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool.
In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it becomes evenly browned and crispy.
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and drain it on paper towels. Once drained, crumble the bacon.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, lettuce, and croutons.
Toss the mixture with Caesar salad dressing
