Ingredients

1 medium ciabatta loaf (or 4 thick slices crusty white bread)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 large cos or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
1 garlic clove
2 anchovies from a tin
medium block parmesan or Grano Padano cheese for grating and shaving (you won't use it all)
5 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tear 1 medium ciabatta into big, ragged croutons or, if you prefer, cut with a bread knife. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and sprinkle over 2 tbsp olive oil.
Rub the oil into the bread and season with a little salt if you like (sea salt crystals are best for this). Bake for 8-10 mins, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.
Rub 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it’s hot enough) and leave for 4 mins.
Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it’s cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear.
Bash 1 garlic clove with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash 2 anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl.
Grate a handful of parmesan cheese and mix with the garlic, anchovies, 5 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp white wine vinegar. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt – if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.
Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear 1 large cos or romaine lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons.
Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.

ULTIMATE ROAST CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD | JAMIE OLIVER RECIPE

Take your chicken Caesar salad to the absolute next level by brining the chicken overnight in fresh apple juice, herbs and spices, adding loads of flavour, juiciness and caramelization. Roasting the croutons in the chicken juices creates the ultimate texture plus out-of-this-world tastiness. You’ve got to try this!

1. For the brine, toast the peppercorns and fennel seeds in a large pot over a high heat for 1 minute, then add the apple juice, sea salt, thyme and bay leaves. Crumble in the dried chillies and bring to the boil, then turn the heat off, top up with 1 litre of cold water and leave to cool.
2. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut down the back of the chicken so you can open it out flat, then add to the cooled brine (transfer to a bigger container, if needed). Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, then drain and pat dry with kitchen paper.
3. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
4. Roughly tear the sourdough into big chunks, break up the garlic bulb, and put aside. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil all over the chicken and place it directly on the bars of the oven, skin side up, with a large tray underneath to catch the juices.
5. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160ºC/325ºF/gas 3.
6. Add the sourdough and unpeeled garlic cloves to the tray and carefully toss to coat in the juices. Roast for 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through, tossing the croutons occasionally. Leave the chicken to rest for 30 minutes before carving.
7. Meanwhile, drain the anchovies (saving the oil) and halve lengthways, then arrange on a plate in a criss-cross fashion. Finely chop the parsley stalks (reserving the leaves), finely slice or chop the chillies, and scatter both over the anchovies.
8. Drizzle over ½ a tablespoon each of the reserved anchovy oil and extra virgin olive oil, then finely grate over half the lemon zest and squeeze over half the juice. Leave to marinate.
9. For the Caesar dressing, finely grate the Parmesan into a bowl, add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and yoghurt, and whisk to combine. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix again. Taste and season to perfection, loosening with a splash of water, if needed.
10. Trim the lettuces and radishes and scrape a fork down the sides of the cucumber. Finely slice the radishes, cucumber, parsley leaves and chives, roughly chop the lettuces, and place everything in a large bowl.
11. Add half the croutons to the salad, pour over half the dressing and toss together, then use a speed-peeler to shave over a little Parmesan. Arrange the chicken and remaining croutons on a board, then serve it all up with the anchovies and extra dressing. Let everyone dig in.
