Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 head large romaine lettuce (washed and dried)
1 cup croutons (any kind)
½ cup parmesan cheese (shaved )
½ cup mayo
½ cup plain yogurt (full fat)
3 cloves garlic (grated or finely minced)
½ tsps black pepper (freshly ground)
3 tbsps lemon juice
½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
2 tbsps olive oil
⅓ cup Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
2 tbsps Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
8 strip chicken tenders (remove filmy skin)
1 large egg
1 tsp lemon juice
1 large garlic clove (minced)
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup flour
½ cup bread crumbs
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
avocado oil spray

Steps:

  • Place all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. Store in the fridge until you finish the remainder of the salad.
  • Wash and clean the romaine lettuce well. Place on a rack or kitchen towel to dry while you prepare the chicken.
  • To prepare the chicken, clean off all filmy skin from the chicken. In one bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Place in the chicken strip and coat well.
  • In another bowl, mix together the crust ingredients. Dip in each strip seperately to coat very well and line them on a non-stick sheet pan (or use parchment paper).
  • Spray generously with avocado oil and bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Flip over, spray and bake the other side for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool before cutting them into smaller pieces.
  • Cut the romaine lettuce and place in a bowl. Toss with half of the dressing.
  • In a large dish, place the romaine lettuce on the bottom. Then add the chicken and croutons. Pour over some extra dressing if needed and top with shaved parmesan cheese.
  • If you have leftover dressing, save in the fridge for later use. Can last up to 2-3 days.
