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.

If you love Caesar Salad you will love this Caesar chicken. Lemon, anchovies and garlic with the best part being those garlic croutons!

Provided by Abbe Odenwalder

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 anchovies, mashed to a paste
8 garlic cloves, finely grated
6 T mayonnaise, divided
1 T Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
2 T extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1½ t 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°.
  • Whisk anchovies, garlic, 3 T mayonnaise, 1 T mustard, 1 T oil, and 1½ t pepper in a small bowl. Set aside 1 T anchovy mayo in another small bowl.
  • Pat chicken dry and season in and out with salt. Arrange breast side up in a cast-iron skillet and tuck wings underneath. Arrange shallots or a red onion around and brush well with anchovy mayo, except for the 1 T you set aside.
  • Place skillet in oven with legs facing towards the back. Roast for about 15 minutes until the anchovy mayo begins to drip on the shallots. Remove skillet from oven and turn over the shallots or onions to coat the other side in the drippings. Return skillet to oven for about 15 minutes being sure to check the chicken and shallots and turning and tossing the shallots until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 155 degrees, about 45 - 55 minutes. Make sure shallots are soft and chicken is golden. If the chicken begins to get too dark, tent with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer chicken and shallots to a serving platter, leaving behind the juices and fat. Reserve skillet and reduce oven temperature to 400.
  • Finely zest 1/2 of 1 lemon into a large bowl. Cut lemon in half and squeeze in juice. Add reserved 1 T anchovy mayo, remaining 3 T of mayo, 1 T oo and whisk to combine then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and then 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. As you can see I added the salad to the skillet and served this at the table.

Chicken Caesar Toasts image

Provided by Ben S.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cloves garlic
½ cup olive oil, plus
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 12-inch baguettes, cut into 48 1/2-inch thick slices
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus shavings for garnish
3 cups shredded breast from a large rotisserie chicken
Salt and ground black pepper
4 cups baby salad greens, romaine, if possible

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Mince garlic in a food processor or blender. With motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Continue to process for about 30 seconds, then strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer. Add 2/3 of the garlic back into the oil, and reserve remaining garlic for the dressing.
  • Arrange bread on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Brush garlic oil over bread. Toast until crisp and golden, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, lemon zest and 2 Tbs. lemon juice, Worcestershire, grated Parmesan, and reserved garlic in a small bowl. (It can be covered and refrigerated for several hours.)
  • When ready to serve, toss dressing with chicken; season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss salad with remaining 2 tsps. of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle in remaining 1 Tb. lemon juice; toss again. Top each toast with a portion of greens, chicken and a Parmesan shaving. (Toasts can stand uncovered for up to 2 hours.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your salad taste its best. Look for crisp romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a good quality Caesar dressing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: Caesar dressing can be rich and flavorful, so it's important to use it sparingly. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Caesar salad is best enjoyed fresh. Once the dressing is added, the lettuce will start to wilt, so it's best to serve it right away.

Conclusion:

Chicken Caesar salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a Caesar salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
