GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add anchovies and cook on low, stirring, until they fall apart and meld with the oil. Place in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and remaining olive oil.
• Place chicken in a bowl, add 1/4 cup of the olive oil dressing, turn to coat chicken breasts, cover and set aside to marinate 2 hours, longer if refrigerated.
• Separate egg whites and yolks. Place yolks in a small dish, add a little of the dressing, blend until smooth and mix in with the rest of the dressing. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Dice whites and keep them separate.
• Light a grill. Remove any tired outer leaves from the romaine, then quarter each head vertically. Place on a large platter and drizzle cut sides with a little of the dressing. Grill romaine close to the heat source, turning clusters of leaves and any individual leaves so they wilt a little and become lightly charred. Remove. Place bread on grill and sear to toast. Remove. Place chicken on grill and cook, turning a few times and basting with the marinade until cooked through, about 15 minutes. It's best to grill chicken away from the source of heat so it does not char.
• Coarsely shred romaine onto a large rimmed platter. Dice toasted bread and add it, along with the egg whites. Drizzle with about half the dressing. Slice the chicken about 1/2-inch thick, arrange it over the romaine and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve warm.

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!

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• To Marinate the Chicken:.
• Trim any visible fat from the chicken.
• Note: Chicken breasts cook better if they are the same thickness all the way through. We slightly butterfly the breasts by opening up the thickest part and folding it open. The finished breast should be all one piece roughly the same thickness. This step is optional however it assures even cooking.
• In a large plastic zip lock bag, place chicken breasts and the cup and a half of the dressings. Zip the bag and with your hands, work the dressing into all sides of the breasts.
• Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least four hours or overnight.
• To Prepare the Croutons:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place diced baguette or marble bread in a large bowl and toss with melted butter, garlic powder, paprika and parsley flakes until well coated.
• Pour coated croutons onto a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Cool completely and store in a zip lock bag until ready to use.
• Note: This recipe makes enough croutons for several servings. Any leftovers will store well at room temperature for later use - not to mention they are delicious to munch on!
• To Cook the Chicken:
• Heat a ribbed grill pan on your stovetop or heat an outdoor grill (preferred) until very hot.
• Remove chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade - do not use for dressing the salad) and grill 3-5 minutes on both sides. If they are not done, move to a cooler part of the grill so they don't burn, or turn flame down if you are using your stove top, and continue to cook until done.
• Helpful hint: Use the poke test to test for doneness: Poke in thickest part of the breast with your finger. If it bounces back it is done.
• Cover chicken loosely with foil and let rest for five minutes.
• For the Dressing:.
• In a large bowl, mash chopped garlic cloves to a fine paste with salt.
• Stir in egg yolks and Dijon mustard.
• Add anchovies, and grind to a paste.
• Add lemon juice, Worcestershire, and season with pepper.
• Slowly whisk in olive oil until dressing is creamy.
• Add lettuce to bowl, and toss to coat leaves thoroughly with dressing and grated Parmesan.
• Sprinkle croutons and sliced chicken over salad.
