1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 anchovy, smeared with a fork to a paste
1/2 clove garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered

Four 12-inch sundried tomato tortillas, toasted with a little oil
1/2 French baguette day-old, crust removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Thinly slice the chicken against the grain and set aside.
  • For the dressing: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovy, garlic and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD



Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad image

Depending on your appetite, this variation on a classic Caesar salad with grilled chicken makes an excellent first-course or a full-on meal. Hitting the lettuce with a little fire is an unexpectedly brilliant trick; the green leaves char and crisp and the insides become slightly tender, but you still get the satisfying crunch everyone loves about romaine. If you're a pescatarian, try it with grilled tuna, salmon or scallops.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 salt-cured anchovies, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds skinless and boneless chicken breasts
2 hard-cooked eggs
1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 heads romaine lettuce
4 slices whole-grain bread, without crusts

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add anchovies and cook on low, stirring, until they fall apart and meld with the oil. Place in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and remaining olive oil.
  • Place chicken in a bowl, add 1/4 cup of the olive oil dressing, turn to coat chicken breasts, cover and set aside to marinate 2 hours, longer if refrigerated.
  • Separate egg whites and yolks. Place yolks in a small dish, add a little of the dressing, blend until smooth and mix in with the rest of the dressing. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Dice whites and keep them separate.
  • Light a grill. Remove any tired outer leaves from the romaine, then quarter each head vertically. Place on a large platter and drizzle cut sides with a little of the dressing. Grill romaine close to the heat source, turning clusters of leaves and any individual leaves so they wilt a little and become lightly charred. Remove. Place bread on grill and sear to toast. Remove. Place chicken on grill and cook, turning a few times and basting with the marinade until cooked through, about 15 minutes. It's best to grill chicken away from the source of heat so it does not char.
  • Coarsely shred romaine onto a large rimmed platter. Dice toasted bread and add it, along with the egg whites. Drizzle with about half the dressing. Slice the chicken about 1/2-inch thick, arrange it over the romaine and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve warm.

Grilled Chicken and Kale Caesar Pressed Sandwich image

In this satisfying, do-ahead sandwich, the kale salad gets more flavorful and tender as it sits. It's perfect for a picnic!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 8 ounces)
8-inch round sourdough loaf
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 anchovies packed in oil, finely minced
1 small clove garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
8 ounces kale, washed, stems removed and leaves thinly sliced
5 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Put the chicken breasts in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil; toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange the bacon strips on top. Bake, flipping once halfway through, until the bacon is golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the chicken reads 165 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Let cool, then slice thinly across the grain.
  • Slice the sourdough loaf in half horizontally and lay the two halves cut-side up. Scoop out some of the bread from both halves and reserve for another use.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a small bowl. Remove 1/4 cup of the dressing and add it to a large bowl along with the kale. Toss to coat and season to taste with more salt and pepper.
  • Spread the remaining salad dressing on both halves of the bread. Building on the bottom half, layer half the kale salad, bacon, sliced chicken, and a sprinkle of salt. Place the radishes on top of the chicken in a single layer, then add the cucumber in a single layer. Scoop the remaining kale salad into the top half of the bread, and place on top of the sandwich. Wrap tightly in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and secure with twine if necessary. Place a brick (see Cook's Note) or cast-iron skillet on top for at least 3 hours to flatten, refrigerated. About 45 minutes before serving, bring the sandwich to room temperature.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD A NEW WAY



Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad a New Way image

While the flavor will be good using leftover cold chicken in this recipe, the key to the specialness of the recipe and the great vibrant flavor of the salad, is to use warm, just-cooked chicken breasts and to place the warm, cooked chicken pieces IN the dressing instead of placing the dressing over the chicken. This technique adds a lot of flavor and works well with most any beef or shrimp salad recipe using a vinaigrette-type (not creamy) dressing as well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Grilled chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make your own Caesar dressing: It's easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought dressing.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Croutons, bacon, Parmesan cheese, and avocado are all great additions to Caesar salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Caesar salad is best when served fresh. The dressing can wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken Caesar salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and healthy. With a few simple tips, you can make the best grilled chicken Caesar salad you've ever had.
