Method
- Heat oven to Mark 6/200°C. Rub the chicken with 1tbsp oil and season. Cook in a hot griddle pan, 2 mins each side, then bake for 20 mins, until cooked through. Rest for 5 mins, then thickly slice. Toss the bread with 1tbsp oil, season and bake for 5-10 mins until golden.
- Put the eggs in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4 mins for soft-boiled, longer for hard-boiled. Drain, run under cold water until the shells are cool. Peel and set aside. Meanwhile, grill or fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
- For the dressing, chop the tinned anchovies and pound to a paste in a pestle and mortar. Stir in the garlic, mustard, honey and lemon juice. Very gradually whisk in the remaining olive oil, then add 4-5tbsp water to thin down. Stir in the Parmesan and season.
- Divide the lettuce between 4 bowls, top each with the chicken, croutons, bacon strips, eggs, sliced in half, the fresh anchovies and some Parmesan shavings. Then drizzle with the dressing to serve.
Top Tip for making Big and tasty chicken Caesar salad
Croutons are a brilliant way to use up bread that's a little bit stale, add some dried herbs for extra flavour. And, for the boiled eggs, it's best to use ones that are about a week old as they are easier to peel than fresh ones.
