Method
Step 1

Place all the chicken marinade ingredients in a container with the chicken and mix until the chicken is fully covered. Place in the fridge for two hours or overnight.

Step 2

Next, make your caesar dressing. Place all the ingredients into a food processor for the caesar salad dressing, minus the extra virgin olive oil and cheese. Blitz until it forms a paste and then slowly add the oil until you get a thicker consistency.

Step 3

Once you’re happy with the consistency add the parmesan cheese and mix through. Place in the fridge until you are ready to use.

Step 4

When you’re ready to cook pre heat the oven to 190°C and bake the chicken for 30-40 minutes. Chop the bread into even chunks cover with olive oil, season and mix through, bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Put to the side until ready to serve. While your chicken is cooking chop your lettuce and slice your avocado and add to the salad bowl, add the dressing and mix. Top with thin slices of parmesan cheese and add the croutons.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with the Caesar salad.
