Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 400 g chicken tenderloins
- 6 streaky bacon rashers
- 3 baby cos lettuce heads (or 2 cos lettuce hearts), leaves separated
- ⅓ cup croutons, to serve
- 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved (optional)
- Thinly shaved parmesan cheese, to serve
For the dressing
- ½ cup (125 ml) Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper
- 4 anchovies, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- To make the dressing, in a small food processor combine ingredients and blitz until smooth. Add a little water to thin out the dressing to your desired consistency. Season to taste.
- Heat a generous drizzle of oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken tenderloins for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and return the pan to heat. Pan-fry the bacon until crisp.
- Tear the lettuce into large pieces, roughly chop the bacon and slice the chicken. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, bacon and chicken in a bowl and drizzle with half the dressing. Toss lightly to combine, then divide the chicken Caesar salad between bowls. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and top with the eggs, croutons and some shaved Parmesan cheese, to serve.
