790g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1.50 oz grated parmesan cheese
44g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
55g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 lettuce
630g
1 oz anchovy
27g
1 lemon
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Chop parsley, mince garlic, and finely chop anchovies. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Parmesan Breading:
- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
3. Bread the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken breast in the Parmesan and bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Prepare the Romaine Lettuce:
- Cut the lettuce head in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
- Place the lettuce halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
6. Make the Caesar Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped anchovies, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and juice of the lemon.
7. Roast the Romaine:
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing evenly over the Romaine lettuce halves.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until the lettuce is slightly charred and wilted.
8. Serve:
- Remove the chicken and the roasted Romaine from the oven.
- Place a portion of chicken and one half of the roasted Romaine on each plate.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the dish for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.

- Salt and pepper the chicken generously before coating it in the parmesan and bread crumb mixture to enhance flavor.

- Use fresh parmesan cheese and freshly grated bread crumbs for the best taste.

- Minced garlic can be substituted with garlic powder for a quicker prep time.

- Drizzle the oil evenly over the lettuce to achieve a consistent roast.

- Monitor the anchovies closely to prevent them from burning, as they cook quickly.

- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished dish to add a burst of citrus flavor.
