Chicken Caesar Salad with Croutons & Egg
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!

First Things First
Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.
As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Oven
Pot
Frypan
Large Bowl
1 Cook Chicken
Pat chicken breast dry with paper towel. Heat a frypan over medium high heat and add the chicken, cooking for 6 minutes until browned. Flip and cook a further 5-6 minute, or until cooked through.
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.
2 Prepare Remaining Ingredients
Cut Turkish bread into 11⁄2 cm cubes. Roughly tear baby cos leaves. Finely slice spring onions, discarding the root. Trim celery and slice on slight angle.
3 Cook Bacon & Croutons
Heat the same frypan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add diced bacon and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add bread cubes and continue cooking a further 5 minutes, until bread has browned and bacon has crisped up. Set aside and wipe out pan.
4 Soft Boil Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add eggs and start a timer. 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for soft boiled (our preferred egg), or 10 minutes for hard boiled. Cool eggs immediately in cold water then peel off the shells and quarter.
5 Combine Ingredients
Slice the cooked chicken to your liking. In a large bowl combine sliced chicken, eggs, lettuce, celery, spring onion, parmesan, Caesar salad dressing and toss well to coat.
Tip! Reserve some chives for garnish
