Chicken Caesar Salad with Asparagus & Bacon

recipe

• Step 1
  Cut or tear the bread into 1 inch cubes. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat & add in the cubed bread. Cook, stirring 2-3 until golden & crispy. Remove from the heat & set aside.
• Step 2
  Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Slice the chicken & the bacon.
• Step 3
  In the same skillet, heat another drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken & cook, stirring for 2-3 min. Add in the bacon & sauté for another 4-5 min until everything is fully cooked..
• Step 4
  As the meats cook, wash & trim the tough ends of the asparagus. In a pot of salted, boiling water, cook the asparagus for 3-4 min.
• Step 5
  Once cooked, strain the asparagus. Cut into 2 inch pieces.
• Step 6
  Wash & roughly chop the lettuce.
• Step 7
  Prepare the dressing. In a tall container or bowl, add the egg & mustard. Season with salt & pepper.
• Step 8
  Use a hand-mixer to combine. Slowly drizzle in the oil (2 tbsp per 1 egg). Continue blending. The sauce should thicken as you add the oil. Tip: if your oil splits, pour a drop of cold water & stir.
• Step 9
  Add garlic & grate half of the parmesan. Keep a small piece to make some shavings for garnish.
• Step 10
  Keep stirring until the dressing is ready. You can adjust the consistency with a little water.

  On a plate, add lettuce, chicken, bacon, croutons & asparagus. Drizzle the dressing on top. You can add parmesan shavings if you wish. Enjoy !
