Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside to rest.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste.
Whisk in the egg yolk and then slowly drizzle in avocado oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing is thick and emulsified.
Coarsely chop the romaine lettuce hearts and place them into a large salad bowl.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and arrange them over the romaine lettuce.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
