Chicken caesar salad - Real Recipes from Mums

One of my favourite salads although rather naughty. For a healthier option serve dressing on side & replace bacon with ham. The eggs can be served soft boiled if preferred or even poached. Anchovies can also be added for those who like.

Ingredients (serves 2)

1 Small cos lettuce
2 Rashers bacon
1/4 cup Shaved Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Croutons
2 Hard boiled eggs
200 mls Ceaser salad dressing

Method

Steam chicken for approx 15 minutes, meanwhile cook bacon in pan until crisp. Once bacon is cooked transfer to plate on paper towel.
Once chicken is lightly steamed transfer to pan with bacon fat & cook until cooked through. Meanwhile hard boil eggs. Once bacon is cool roughly chop, do same with chicken. Peel eggs & quarter.
Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate, add chicken, bacon, cheese, croutons & eggs then pour over dressing.

Notes

I used Birch & Waite creamy Caesar dressing however Paul Newman make a nice one too.

Even with the bacon this is a pretty healthy dish, though it’s always helpful to have suggestions for variations, particularly healthy swaps. It’s a classic too, a kind of salad recognisable to almost everyone. It’s not too hard to make, and if you hold back the dressing you can make it in advance too.
