A while ago we decided to make a classic chicken caesar salad and began to search the internet to find the ideal recipe. We found dozens of recipes but only court our attention and that was a recipe from Seattle Foodshed. It was a classic caesar salad with out the chicken, but as we were going to have the salad as a our main course we added grilled chicken.

The recipe is very easy and it doesn’t take long to make, but be careful when making the dressing. Hope that you will love it as much as we do 🙂

 

Ingredients (2 servings)

2 chicken breasts (organic if possible)

1/4 tsp. chili flakes

Salt

Pepper

 

Salad:

1 head romaine lettuce

1 lemon, juice

1 garlic clove

1 egg

2 anchovies

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Salt

Pepper

 

Croutons:

1/2 loaf of ciabatta

3 tbsp. olive oil

Salt

Pepper

 

Cut the ciabatta into 1-inch cubes and roast in medium-hot olive oil until crisp and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and chili flakes and grill it on both sides until it is well done – approximately 10-12 minutes on each side depending on the size. Cover in tin foil when grilled and let rest while preparing the rest of the salad.

Rinse the lettuce in cold water and it drip off. Tear the dried lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Blend together egg, lemon juice, garlic clove and anchovies until smooth. If you use a food processor, pour the olive oil slowly into the mixture while the processing. If you use a hand blend, transfer the mixture to a bowl and slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking. Using the last of the two methods you will need to whisk a lot, but it is not impossible 🙂 Stop whisking when all the olive oil has been absorbed – over whisking will ruin the dressing!! When finished whisking add 1/8 cup of grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the shredded lettuce and mix well. Place the lettuce mixture on two plates and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Slice the chicken breast into thin slices and place on top of the salad together with the croutons.

Serve for lunch or as a light dinner 🙂
