The classic Caesar chicken salad

[Brett-EDH]

Defrosted some chicken breasts today. Came home after a quick Costco run and butterflied each breast. Added SPOG, Italian herbs, oregano, basil and thyme. Added in some evoo and sweet paprika.

Medium seared in stainless pan. Pulled to a tray to sit in the oven at 175° as I built the rest of dinner.

Hand tore 1.5 baguettes, then seasoned with spg, herbs, oregano, thyme, Italian parsley and dried tomato skins. Covered with melted unsalted butter and evoo.

Tossed all in a large work bowl and then onto a metal baking tray for 40 minutes at convection bake 425°.

Then whipped up fresh Caesar.

Washed and dried the romaine hearts. Sliced the chicken. Dressed the salad and boom, dinner was served.

Absolutely a great and light dinner.

Salad done right!

Along with bottle of white. Wife was thankful for the meal. We’ve both really had a hankering for Caesar. And this one is a good one.

Nicely done.
I love a good Caesar salad meal.
Sometimes I cheat with a fresh Costco rotisserie but it’s normally made from our left over chicken.
I keep canned anchovies just for this meal .

Hahaha. We have the regular canned anchovies AND white anchovies from the Mediterranean region. The white ones taste amazing. Those with cheese, olives, bread, charcuterie and wine make for a great dinner.

great looking Caesar - Not a fan of the bait on them, but you gotta do it!
