A crisp restaurant-style Caesar salad with grilled chicken, garlic croutons, Parmesan-style cheese, and a creamy lemon-Worcestershire dressing with optional anchovy depth.

Method

01
Heat the oven to 200 C. Toss 160 g bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little salt, and a little pepper, then spread on a tray and bake at 200 C until golden and crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Let the croutons cool.

02
Pat the 2 chicken breasts dry, season with some of the salt and pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook in a hot grill pan or skillet for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reaches 74 C. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

03
Mash the 3 anchovies, if using, with the 2 grated garlic cloves. Whisk in 6 tablespoons mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and half of the 60 g grated cheese. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
04
Wash and dry the lettuce very well, then tear or chop it into bite-size pieces. Toss with enough dressing to coat lightly, then fold in most of the croutons and most of the remaining cheese.
05
Divide the salad among plates, top with sliced chicken, and finish with the remaining croutons and cheese. Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp.
