Instructions
Chicken
Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and then coat both sides with cajun seasoning.
Bake in a baking dish in the oven at 375° for 20 minutes. You can also grill on medium heat for 20 minutes. Timing may be different depending on the size of the breasts or tenders. You just want to make sure that you have an internal temperature of 165°
Lettuce
Cut off the ends of a head of romaine lettuce
Rinse under cold water and dry on a towel or paper towel.
Cut with a sharp knife into bite-sized pieces. Then put it into a salad spinner to remove water. If you don't have a spinner, just dry it with a paper towel.
Dressing
Add olive oil, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, egg yolk, and salt and pepper to a large bowl.
Whisk until well combined.
Assembling the Salad
Add the lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese to the dressing, and toss the lettuce until everything is well coated with dressing.
Top your salad with chopped chicken.
Notes
I juice the lemon over the lettuce before I spin it. You can just add it to the dressing if you aren’t using a spinner. The anchovies, parmesan, and croutons are optional but in my opinion, make this salad classic.
