Steps

Chicken and Croutons

Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper. In a pan, cook them in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan, let rest, then slice. Cube the bread, then in the same pan with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and optionally a minced garlic clove, toast until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes.

Prepare the Dressing

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce. While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Salad

Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce, then tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the prepared dressing. Add the toasted croutons and sliced chicken breast. Sprinkle generously with grated or shaved Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► For the croutons, use stale bread for extra crispiness. If you don't have any, lightly toast fresh bread in the oven before cubing.

► You can add a pinch of sugar to the dressing if you prefer a sweeter taste, or a little chili flakes for a spicier kick.

► Mix the salad with the dressing just before serving to keep the romaine lettuce fresh and crispy.
