CLASSIC GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAPS

Steps:

• Lightly flatten the chicken breasts, one at a time, with a meat mallet of the back of a meat cleaver, taking care not to rip the meat to make it an even thickness.
• Season the olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper then brush over each flattened breast.
• Heat a griddle pan to hot, but not smoking, and cook the chicken for 6 minutes on each side pressing slightly with the back of a spatula to creating charred grill lines on the meat.
• Once cooked, take from the pan and place on a plate, cover with a tea cloth and leave the meat to rest.
• Unless using store-bought dressing, make the dressing by blending the garlic and anchovies using a hand blender, or food processor , until combined.
• Tip the mixture into a small bowl, add the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice and using a hand whisk add a few drops of olive oil and whisk until combined. Continue this way, adding a few drops and whisking, until all the oil is used up and the dressing is thick and creamy. Taste and add seasoning.
• Rip the chicken into shreds and add the shredded Romaine and Parmesan and enough sauce to combine. Mix lightly, but be gentle here as you do not want to make the salad mushy. Divide into eight portions.
• Place a pile of chicken salad in the middle of a wrap. Fold over the bottom and roll up tightly. Continue with the remaining wraps and serve immediately.
• The wraps can be served either warm or cold, which makes them super for a lunch box or as part of a party buffet. Any leftover salad can be served on the side. In a hurry?

BACON-WRAPPED GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND LIME

Steps:

• Take the chicken breasts out of the fridge to come to room temperature. Soak wooden toothpicks or skewers in water while you ready your grill. Clean the grate thoroughly and build a hot fire. This chicken needs to be cooked over intense, direct heat.
• While the coals heat, butterfly the chicken breasts: On a chopping board, place one hand on top of the breast, and slice into its side, starting at the thick end and moving toward the thin point. Make sure not to cut all the way through. Then, open up the breast, cover with plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin, roll the chicken to an even thickness of 1/2 inch; set aside.
• Prepare the dressing: Crush the herbs, salt and garlic in a pestle until you have a thick, bright-green paste (or finely chop them); stir in the lime juice. Scoop the avocados into the pestle and crush, then stir in the oil, pepper and half the jalapeños. Prepare the salad components so they're ready to be assembled when the chicken is cooked.
• When the coals are burning red and the grill hisses when you drop water on it, salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides. Lay 4 slices of bacon flat on each breast crosswise, then turn the chicken over and fold the bacon ends over like you're wrapping a parcel. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks or skewers.
• Place the bacon-wrapped breasts on the grill, with the side without the toothpicks facing down. There will be some flare-ups as the bacon fat hits the coals; if it's burning, pull the parcels off the grill and give the coals a few minutes to cool. Otherwise, when the parcels have nice color on the first side, after about 3 or 4 minutes, flip them over. Cook on the second side until cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes more; transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• Assemble the salad: Toss the leaves with about 1/3 of the avocado dressing and some additional olive oil to thin it. Use your hands to toss until coated and season to taste with salt.
• Pull the toothpicks or skewers out of the bacon-wrapped breasts and slice them into strips. Dollop 1/3 of the avocado dressing onto the serving platter, then arrange the leaves, chicken and eggs on top. Dollop with the remaining avocado dressing to taste. Finish with more herbs, remaining jalapeños, lime wedges and some extra olive oil for gloss.
