Chicken Caesar Salad

recipe

• Step 1
  Pour the flour onto a plate. Thoroughly dredge the chicken in the flour. Shake off any excess. (Dredging is yummy but optional!)
• Step 2
  Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Cook for 2 min.
• Step 3
  Flip over the chicken & lower the heat to medium. Season with salt & pepper. Continue cooking for 5-7 min, or until cooked through. Baste the chicken in the pan juices as it cooks.
• Step 4
  Tear the bread into pieces for croutons. Set them aside.
• Step 5
  Separate the egg yolk from the whites, keeping only the yolk. Add the egg yolk to an immersion blender bowl. Add the dijon mustard. Season with salt & pepper.
• Step 6
  Gradually drip the oil into the bowl in a slow but steady stream. Be sure to blend the dressing with an immersion blender continuously as you add the oil!
• Step 7
  Keeping blending in the oil as the dressing thickens.
• Step 8
  Add the garlic & grated parmesan to the dressing, reserving a bit of parmesan for garnish.
• Step 9
  Blend again until thick & creamy. Add a splash of water if the dressing seems too thick!
• Step 10
  When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan. Set it aside on a plate to cool.
• Step 11
  Heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the torn pieces of bread. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring or shaking the pan as the croutons brown. Season with salt & pepper.

  Slice the chicken into strips.
