Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat cast iron grill pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until meat is no longer pink in the middle. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, thyme, paprika and grated Parmesan. Add bread cubes and toss to coat. On a baking sheet spread out bread cubes in a single layer and bake until golden about 8-10 minutes. For the dressing, combine garlic, mustard, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a bowl and process using a hand blender or whisk. Add mayonnaise and blend together to form a thick base. In a slow stream add olive oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. If desired, add anchovy to dressing to create a deeper, saltier flavor. Place ripped up romaine lettuce leaves in a large bowl and toss with several tablespoons of the dressing. Add grated Parmesan and toss to combine. Slice grilled chicken into thin strips. Arrange lettuce on a plate and top with chicken strips. Garnish with chopped parsley and anchovies, if desired.~ Recipe By :COOKS CHOICE SEAN & CATHY SHOW #CH1217 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #252 Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 18:10:01 -0400 From: Meg Antczak <meginny@frontiernet.net>
