  • Make chicken: Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove from skillet and let cool.

  • Prepare lettuce: Cut romaine crosswise into 1-inch ribbons; wash and dry.

  • Make dressing: In a blender, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, Parmesan, anchovy fillets (if using), and garlic; blend until smooth. If preparing this recipe in advance, see storage instructions (below).

  • If stored in refrigerator, bring chicken and dressing to room temperature. Slice chicken crosswise into strips; toss with croutons, lettuce, and dressing.

Cook's Notes

Croutons can be made 3 days ahead and stored in a resealable plastic bag at room temperature. Chicken can be cooked and stored, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Store washed lettuce, in a large bowl with paper towels, and dressing, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chicken and dressing to room temperature before serving.

I made this with my special needs students. We made our own croutons and dressing. So easy, so tasty! The hardest part was figuring out the recipe for 18 people.

I'm pretty sure there is nutritional info in the magazine this recipe is printed in.

I agree with Danny. I've often thought how wonderful all MS's recipes are but there are never any NI's on them here or in the magazine. Since I've been on a health program for over a year now, I tend not to prepare any recipes unless I know what I'm up against.

Without nutritional info these yummy recipes are not of great value ...CARBS and cholesterol as well as calories are vital info for some of us who REALLY need these good ideas! No use to me without! Wish it weren't so!

Be sure to use freshly squeezed lemon juice. It absolutely makes a difference. Very nice Caesar Dressing. Yum.
