Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 3 large heads Romaine Lettuce Hearts
  • 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesa
  • 1 cup Garlic Croutons
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Egg Yolks)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp Anchovy Paste (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and anchovy paste. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking.
  4. Chop romaine lettuce and wash thoroughly. Dry completely and toss with half of the dressing.
  5. Slice chicken and add to the lettuce along with croutons and remaining parmesan. Toss gently and serve immediately.

Notes

To keep the salad fresh, store chicken, dressing, and lettuce separately. Dress only what you plan to eat immediately.
