Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the Parmesan and bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
- 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).
- 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.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped anchovies, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and juice of the lemon.
- 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.
- 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.
