A homemade Grill’d-style chicken Caesar salad with grilled chicken, parmesan and croutons

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 300 g chicken breast fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cos lettuce hearts, leaves separated
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup (50 g) shaved parmesan
  • 1 cup croutons (cubed day-old bread, fried crisp)
  • Caesar dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp grated parmesan, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 anchovy fillet mashed (or ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce), 1 garlic clove crushed
  • Salt and cracked pepper

Method

  1. Rub the chicken with oil, garlic powder and salt. Grill or pan-fry 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  2. Boil the eggs 6 minutes for jammy yolks, cool, peel and halve.
  3. Whisk the Caesar dressing ingredients together. Fry the bread cubes in a little oil until golden and crisp.
  4. Toss the cos leaves with half the dressing in a large bowl.
  5. Top with the sliced chicken, eggs, croutons and shaved parmesan, then drizzle with the rest of the dressing. Tip: dress the leaves first and top after — dressing poured over the top pools at the bottom — and the jammy egg is the difference between a plain chicken salad and a Caesar.
