Legend has it that Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini invented the caesar salad in 1924 whilst in Tijuana, Mexico. The International Society of Epicure later declared the classic salad, which by then was popular in Europe, "the greatest recipe to originate from the Americas in 50 years." We couldn't agree more!

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Oven
Baking Tray
Frypan
Large Bowl
Preheat oven to 200°C. Pat chicken breast dry with paper towel. Heat a frypan over medium high heat and add the chicken, skin side down, cooking for 4 minutes until browned. Flip and cook a further minute, place chicken on a lined baking tray and cook for a further 15 minutes in the oven.
Tip! When swapping the chef selected protein; adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.
Cut ciabatta panini into 11⁄2 cm cubes. Roughly tear baby cos leaves. Finely chop chives. Trim celery and slice on slight angle.
Heat the same frypan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add diced bacon and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add panini cubes and continue cooking a further 5 minutes, until bread has browned and bacon has crisped up. Set aside and wipe out pan.
In the same frypan, heat a little more oil on low-medium. Carefully add the eggs to the pan, one at a time, keeping them separate. Season with salt and pepper. Cook eggs (sunny side up or to your liking), 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and no longer translucent.
Slice the cooked chicken to your liking. In a large bowl combine sliced chicken, lettuce, celery, chives, parmesan, caesar salad dressing and toss well to coat.
Tip! Reserve some chives for garnish
Divide salad between plates and top with bacon, croutons and a fried egg (optional) and any remaining chives. Enjoy!
