1 cup homemade croutons

1 Romaine lettuce, cored removed

4 eggs, soft or hard boiled, sliced in half

Salt and pepper

Method

Caesar salads are a classic and for good reason! We make ours with chicken and bacon for extra deliciousness.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease or line a baking tin. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Wrap the bacon rashers around chicken breasts, then roast for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken has cooked through.

  1. Meanwhile make the dressing and prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Add dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Slice the bacon wrapped chicken on a chopping board.
  4. To serve, arrange the lettuce on a platter. Add chicken slices, boiled eggs, dressing and croutons. Scatter extra parmesan and anchovies if you like. Yum!
