1.
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
2.
Now, let's get started!
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Heat a large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Chop your chicken into small strips, then add to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 10-12 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)
(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)
3.
While the chicken is cooking, tear your ciabattas into bite-sized pieces and add to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
Put the trays in the oven for 6-7 min or until crisp and golden – these are your ciabatta croutons
4.
Meanwhile, thoroughly wash your lettuce, pat it dry with kitchen paper then separate the outer leaves and shred the inner cores
5.
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
6.
Add the chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!) to a bowl with your Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and mayo
Add your capers, 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp cold water
Season with a pinch of pepper and give everything a good mix up – this is your Caesar dressing
7.
Peel your Italian hard cheese until you end up with a pile of cheese shavings
Grate any remaining Italian hard cheese
8.
Add the outer lettuce leaves and shredded lettuce to a bowl and top with the cooked chicken and Italian hard cheese shavings
Drizzle over the Caesar dressing, add the ciabatta croutons and sprinkle over any grated Italian hard cheese
Enjoy!
