Preparation
Step 1
To Make The Dressing:
Step 2
Whisk first eight ingredients together in a small bowl until well-combined. Then, while still whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue whisking together until well blended. Season with extra salt and/or pepper if needed.
Step 3
To Make The Salad:
Step 4
First, prepare the chicken. Place chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound breasts with a meat mallet until they have reached a uniform thickness (about 3/8″), then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add two chicken breasts to pan. (Feel free to add more if you’re pan is big enough — just don’t crowd them.) Cook until both sides are lightly golden and chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and slice into thin strips. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
Step 6
While chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce (and croutons, if making homemade). Wash and dry the lettuce, and then tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Toss with dressing, then serve topped with chicken, croutons and Parmesan.
