1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or pan-cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until it’s fully cooked through. Allow the chicken to rest, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Caesar dressing, anchovy (or anchovy paste), minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Add a small amount of milk or water to the mixture, as needed, to achieve the desired consistency for your dressing.

3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons. Add the sliced, cooked chicken and drizzle the homemade dressing over the top.

4. Gently toss the salad ingredients until they are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve the Chicken Caesar Salad immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or croutons if desired.
