1 can Anchovies	2 handful Croutons I prefer Pepperidge Farm
1/2 whole Lemon squeezed	2 tablespoon Parmesan grated
1 clove Garlic minced	-- PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN --

Instructions for Parmesan Chicken Caesar Salad ala Steve

More and more grocery stores these days are selling pre-made "Parmesan Chicken Breasts" in the ready-to-go sections of the store. You can find these at Whole Foods Market, QFC (in the Northwest), and several Safeways; I'm sure they are available in other locations as well. Alternatively, with a little more effort, you can make your own (simply search BigOven for "Parmesan Chicken").

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Also preheat large oven-ready saute pan over medium high heat. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. When hot, gently place parmesan chicken breasts in there, and turn the heat down to medium. Let sear for about a minute or two, and flip over. (Check it carefully, but frequently... parmesan cheese burns rapidly!). Sear on the other side for about a minute. When they are brown on both sides, pop into the oven for another 5-8 minutes to cook all the way through.

Meanwhile, make the salad. Wash and dry lettuce carefully. I strongly recommend wrapping the torn lettuce in a generous amount of paper towels and chilling in the fridge for at least 1 1/2 hours. I have found that getting truly chilled, crisp, and bone-DRY lettuce is the key to a great Caesar Salad, almost as much as the dressing itself. Crush the garlic and anchovies together until they are a fine paste. Whisk in other ingredients rapidly.

Toss salad, shave parmesean cheese and add croutons at the last minute -- do not let lettuce sit with dressing on it or it will wilt. Season with ground pepper to taste. Top with sliced chicken breasts.
