Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe

This simple chicken caesar salad recipe is a very popular dish. The caesar salad dressing recipe shown here can be changed slightly if needed.

The anchovies are an optional ingredient. If using them for the first time add a little bit at a time and taste the dressing as you do it. They are very salty and strong in flavour.

This recipe makes about 2/3 of a cup of caesar dressing. That should be enough for 3 servings of salad.

Ingredients:

1 cooked chicken breast per serving
Romain lettuce
Croutons
Parmesan cheese

Dressing:

1/2 cup olive or other salad oil
1 clove garlic(crushed)
1 egg
1/2 can anchovies or anchovie paste to taste(optional)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vinegar(regular or flavored)
1/2 tsp mustard powder

Bake chicken breast(s) in oven until cooked. Add a little spice before cooking if desired.

Break off enough leaves of romain lettuce for however many servings you are making. Wash lettuce in a bowl of cold water and dry using a clean dishtowel or a salad spinner. When leaves are dry tear them into smaller pieces and add to salad bowl.

Add a desired amount of croutons and parmesan cheese.

Mix dressing with a whisk or electric mixer. If using a whisk, cut up anchovies into small pieces with a sharp knife. Add dressing to the bowl a little bit at a time while tossing salad. Just add enough to cover salad without oversoaking leaves.

Cut chicken breast into cubes and add to salad, either on top or mixed in to coat with dressing.

Serve dish immediately.
