Chicken Caesar Salad

NF | RSF. Can be DF and GF and EF

  • Pan
  • Food processor or blender
  • Jar
  • Large bowl
  • cutting board
  • pot
  • Steamer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Whisk
  • Tongs for flipping sourdough under the grill
  • Thermomix
  • 500 grams chicken breast either poached, roasted or pan-fried and cut into slices
  • 4 rashers bacon (preferably nitrate free), chopped
  • 2 eggs (omit if not tolerated)
  • 2 tbsp capers (drained)
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (Or GF bread)
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • 1 cos lettuce
  • 2 handfuls ocket leaves
  • Parmesan cheese shaved (as much as you want!)

Dressing:

  • 50 grams parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 1 garlic clove 
  • 80 grams olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonaise or aioli
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 anchovy fillets chopped (optional)
  1. Prepare your chicken however you like, I just pan-fried ours in some ghee. I also fried the bacon at the same time. 

  2. Whilst the chicken is cooking, poach a couple of eggs (or hard boil if you prefer).

  3. Steam some broccolini until just soft, then remove and allow to cool.

  4. Prep your dressing whilst all cooking – add all ingredients except the oil into a food processor or blender, blend until combined and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil whilst the blender is on a slow/medium speed – you dont want to add it too quickly as that will cause the dressing to split. If using a thermomix pop the butterfly whisk on and do it on speed 4 and pop the oil just onto the lid and it will drizzle down under the measuring cup! Place in a jar when ready (so you can shake it when ready to serve)

  5. op your sourdough onto a grill tray, drizzle with some olive oil and salt and pepper and pop under the grill until toasted, turning once. Cut into small crouton shapes when cooked. 

  6. Pop lettuce and capers and broccolini in a large bowl, top with the croutons, bacon, chicken, parmesan cheese and eggs. Drizzle over the dressing when ready to serve.

  7. This is a meal my older children love, and us too – but to make it BLW friendly – you can see what I have offered will by offering a deconstructed version – you can offer some of the chicken, broccolini, toast (if tolerated), egg (if tolerated) etc. even serve with a few slices of avocado!
