Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
  • 2 romaine lettuce
  • 2 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 sourdough loaf
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Tear the sourdough into rough cubes, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt, and toast in a 400F oven for 10 minutes until crisp.

  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon oil, 6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. Whisk the mayonnaise, Dijon, the juice of the lemon, grated garlic, the remaining oil, and half the Parmesan into a dressing. Loosen with a splash of water if needed.

  4. Chop the romaine and toss it with the dressing until every leaf is coated.

  5. Add the croutons and the remaining Parmesan and toss once more.

  6. Pile onto plates and lay the sliced chicken over the top.
