Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 anchovies in oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup parmesan or to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

  • 1 cos lettuce
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup croutons
  • Parmesan to preference

Instructions
 

  • Start making the dressing by smashing the anchovies into a paste-like consistency. Then whisk in the garlic, lemon juice, dijon mustard, and worcestershire sauce.
  • Then mix together with the mayonnaise and parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the dressing in the fridge.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half to create a slimmer piece of meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a pan with olive oil on a medium-high heat. Cook for a few minutes each side until browned on the outside, and cooked on the inside.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce. Use a knife to cut the thick stem from the middle of the leaf. Then slice the lettuce into bite size strips.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan once cooked, use a knife to also cut this into bite size strips.
  • To assemble the salad place the lettuce, croutons, and chicken in a bowl. Drizzle in your desired amount of dressing, and top with parmesan cheese. Then toss and enjoy!
