Golden oven-baked chicken with a crunchy crumb, sliced over crisp romaine in creamy Caesar dressing. All the crunch of fried, none of the pan-watching.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast × 1
• Egg × 1
• 2 tbsp Flour (all-purpose)
• 3 tbsp Bread crumbs (plain)
• 2 handful Lettuce (Romaine)
• 1 tbsp Caesar dressing
• 15 g Parmesan (shaved)
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 g Black pepper
• 2 g Salt

Method

1. Preheat & Prep

   

   Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the chicken fillet in half horizontally so it's thinner, then flatten it gently with a rolling pin or the back of a wooden spoon until it's an even thickness all over.

2. Flour Coat

   

   In a deep dish, add the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat the chicken on both sides.

3. Egg Dip

   

   In a second dish, add the egg. Whisk it with a fork, then dip the chicken in it on both sides.

4. Breadcrumb Coat

   

   Add the breadcrumbs to a third plate and coat the chicken on both sides.

5. Bake

   

   Place the breaded chicken on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray. Brush with a drizzle of olive oil, then bake for 20 minutes at 200°C.

6. Prep Salad

   

   Meanwhile, wash then cut the salad into pieces.

7. Mix Salad

   

   In a bowl, mix: salad, Caesar sauce and parmesan shavings.

8. Check Chicken

   

   Once the chicken is nicely browned and crispy, remove it from the oven.

9. Serve

   

   On a plate, serve the breaded chicken with the Caesar salad. Add a few shavings of parmesan and pepper.
