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!
