Ingredients
Chicken caesar salad
- 2 chicken breast fillets
- 2/3 cup (200g) aioli
- 2 drained anchovy fillets, chopped finely
- 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 4 bacon rashers, trimmed, sliced roughly
- 12 thin slices (140g) crusty italian bread
- 2 cos lettuce leaves, separated (large ones torn)
- 1 cup (80g) shaved parmesan cheese
Method
Chicken caesar salad
- 1Half-fill a medium frying pan with water; add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to the boil; add chicken, reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, in barely simmering water for about 10 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through, turning halfway. Remove chicken from pan; cover and stand for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- 2Combine the aioli, anchovy and mustard in a small bowl. If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon of hot water.
- 3Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan; cook the bacon until golden brown. Remove the bacon from the pan with tongs or slotted spoon; drain on absorbent paper. Add the bread to the pan and cook, in batches, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
- 4Arrange the lettuce with the bacon, bread crisps, chicken and parmesan in a large bowl or platter. Drizzle with the dressing.
