GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Make the dressing: Chop 2 garlic cloves and puree with 1/2 cup olive oil, the anchovies and lemon juice in a blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Pound the chicken with a mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/8 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the Caesar dressing. Grill the chicken until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush the bread with olive oil on both sides and grill, turning, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Rub with the remaining garlic clove. Brush the romaine with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing and grill until marked, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Chop the lettuce and transfer to a bowl. Cut the bread and chicken into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl. Toss with the remaining dressing, the parmesan, and pepper to taste. Garnish with more parmesan.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place the chicken in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them. Whisk the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until combined. Pour the oil mixture over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the oil mixture and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Thinly slice the chicken against the grain and set aside.
• For the dressing: Mix the sour cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, anchovy, garlic and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
• For the sandwich build: Place the sliced chicken, 1/2 cup sour cream Caesar dressing, tomatoes, romaine and Parmesan Croutons in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the bread and Parmesan to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• For the aspic: Put the chicken, celery, bay leaves, carrot and onion in a large stock pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 6 hours, skimming off scum. Strain and reserve the chicken and stock, discarding the veggies and aromatics. Using tongs, pick the meat from the chicken and reserve. (An alternative to making the chicken stock from scratch is to use 1 quart prepared chicken stock and a rotisserie chicken.)
• Measure out 1 cup of the stock and put it in an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish. Add the gelatin and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes.
• Measure out 3 more cups of stock and bring to a simmer in a saucepan. Add this to the baking dish and whisk gently to dissolve the gelatin.
• Add the pulled chicken meat, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, red pepper flakes and eggs to the broth and gelatin mixture. Arrange the eggs, parsley and pepper flakes in a pretty fashion.
• Chill at least 8 hours, or overnight. Also chill a rimmed baking sheet slightly larger than the baking dish.
• Turn out the aspic by submerging the baking dish in warm water, placing the chilled baking sheet on top and inverting. Use a pizza cutter to cut the aspic into pretty 2-by-2-inch cubes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the grilled croutons and romaine: Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot.
• Slice the baguette thinly on the bias. You will need eight 1/8-inch-thick slices. Reserve the remaining baguette for another use.
• Put the bread slices in a large bowl and toss with a few drizzles of olive oil, a few sprinkles of grated Parmesan and the minced garlic. Set aside.
• Rub the romaine pieces with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the romaine for about 4 minutes on each side; the outside should be wilted and charred, the inside steamed but crisp. Grill the bread slices until toasted on each side.
• Transfer the romaine and croutons to a large plate or cutting board and re-season with a little olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper.
• Using tongs and a knife, slice the romaine. Plate with 2 croutons and 2 cubes of aspic. The aspic will melt as you eat! MMMMMM!

CAJUN CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, mix the oil, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat with the mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Drain chicken, and discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.

CAJUN GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LIME BLACK-EYED BEAN SALAD & GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
• In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
• For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
• Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
• Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.
