03 — Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) fan. Cut the 4 slices of bread into 1.5 cm (½ in) cubes, spread on the baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil and salt lightly.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), stirring halfway, until golden and crisp. Rub immediately with a halved garlic clove.
- For the dressing, mash the 4 anchovies with 1 garlic clove (germ removed) and the 2 yolks in a mortar or small blender until smooth.
- Add the Dijon, lemon juice, Worcestershire and pepper and whisk well.
- Whisk in the olive oil in a very thin stream, as for mayonnaise, until creamy. Adjust the seasoning.
- Flatten the chicken to 1 cm (⅜ in) and season. Cook in the nonstick skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil for 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Rest for 3 minutes and slice on the diagonal 1 cm (⅜ in) wide. Meanwhile, wash, dry and roughly chop the romaine.
- In the large bowl, toss the lettuce with half the dressing. Divide among 4 plates and top with the chicken, croutons and Parmesan. Drizzle with the rest of the dressing and serve right away.
