Ingredients
1.5 lbs Organic Chicken Breasts (sliced into strips)
2 large heads Fresh Romaine Lettuce Hearts (chopped)
1/2 cup Aged Parmesan Cheese (shaved or grated)
1/2 cup Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
2 cloves Minced Garlic Cloves
1/2 teaspoon Anchovy Paste (optional but recommended)
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of Avocado Oil, and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and anchovy paste. Slowly drizzle in Olive Oil while whisking to emulsify
- Wash the romaine hearts in cold water, shake off excess, chop, and place in a chilled bowl
- Toss the romaine with dressing, add Parmesan, and top with sliced chicke
Notes
Use a microplane for cheese for better texture. Chill the salad bowl beforehand.
Avoid crowding the chicken in the pan while cooking.
