CAESAR SALAD ROAST CHICKEN



Caesar Salad Roast Chicken image

The only thing better than a roast chicken and a Caesar salad is a Caesar salad served with a chicken smothered in Caesar dressing and roasted until the garlic, anchovies, and mustard become deeply caramelized and flavorful.

Provided by Molly Baz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Salad     Roast     Poultry     Chicken     Anchovy     Mayonnaise     Mustard     Shallot     Parmesan     Lettuce     Lemon     Garlic     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 anchovies, mashed to a paste
8 garlic cloves, finely grated
6 Tbsp. mayonnaise, divided
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 (3½-4-lb.) whole chicken or 4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; about 3 lb.)
Kosher salt
8 medium shallots, unpeeled, halved lengthwise
2 lemons, divided
1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated
4 oz. country-style bread, torn into (1½") pieces
2 romaine hearts, leaves separated, torn

Steps:

  • Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Whisk anchovies, garlic, 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. mustard, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1½ tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Set aside 1 Tbsp. anchovy mayo in another small bowl.
  • Pat chicken dry; season outside and inside all over with salt. Arrange breast side up in a cast-iron skillet and tuck wings underneath. Arrange shallots around (if using legs, nestle under and around); season with salt and pepper. Brush remaining anchovy mayo all over chicken, making sure to get it into the nooks and crannies, then brush shallots with any leftover anchovy mayo.
  • Place chicken in oven so legs are facing toward the back (this is the hottest part of the oven and will help the legs cook before the breast dries out) and roast until some anchovy mayo and fat begin to drip onto shallots, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and, using tongs, turn shallots to coat in drippings. Return skillet to oven and continue to roast chicken, stirring shallots once or twice, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, 45-55 minutes. If skin starts to get too dark on the top before chicken is done, tent area with foil, leaving the rest of the bird exposed. If using chicken legs, start checking at 40 minutes (a thermometer inserted right at the joint should register 160°F). Transfer chicken and shallots to a cutting board, leaving behind any juices and fat in skillet. If shallots need more time to soften and darken, roast a bit longer without chicken before proceeding. Reserve skillet.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Finely grate half of zest of 1 lemon into a large bowl; cut lemon in half and squeeze in juice. Add reserved 1 Tbsp. anchovy mayo, remaining 3 Tbsp. mayo, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and whisk to combine, then stir in Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.
  • Add bread to reserved skillet with fat and turn to coat. Return skillet to oven and toast bread, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 12-15 minutes. Transfer croutons to bowl with reserved dressing. Add romaine and gently toss until lettuce is well coated. Season salad with salt and pepper.
  • Slice remaining lemon into wedges. Carve chicken and nestle back into skillet or transfer to a platter; arrange shallots and lemon wedges around. Serve with salad and more mustard alongside.

CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD



Chicken Caesar salad image

A classic chicken salad recipe, featuring crunchy croutons and a creamy, garlic dressing. Ideal for lunch with friends

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Side dish, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium ciabatta loaf (or 4 thick slices crusty white bread)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 large cos or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
1 garlic clove
2 anchovies from a tin
medium block parmesan or Grano Padano cheese for grating and shaving (you won't use it all)
5 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tear 1 medium ciabatta into big, ragged croutons or, if you prefer, cut with a bread knife. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and sprinkle over 2 tbsp olive oil.
  • Rub the oil into the bread and season with a little salt if you like (sea salt crystals are best for this). Bake for 8-10 mins, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.
  • Rub 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it's hot enough) and leave for 4 mins.
  • Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it's cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear.
  • Bash 1 garlic clove with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash 2 anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl.
  • Grate a handful of parmesan cheese and mix with the garlic, anchovies, 5 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp white wine vinegar. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt - if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.
  • Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear 1 large cos or romaine lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons.
  • Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.

3 cups chopped roasted chicken
2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup sliced green onions
½ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ cup Caesar salad dressing

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic, free-range chicken and romaine lettuce.
  • Make your own Caesar dressing: It's easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought dressing. Plus, you can control the ingredients and make it to your own taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the classic croutons and Parmesan cheese, you can also add other toppings to your Caesar salad, such as sliced hard-boiled eggs, chopped bacon, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Caesar salad is best served fresh. The dressing will start to wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken Caesar salad is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can create a restaurant-quality salad at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
