Baked chicken retains moisture and is easier to prepare.

Cut the large pita bread into cubes.

Drizzle olive oil in a heated griddle pan.

Place the pita bread cubes in the pan and mix gently until golden and crisp.

Remove the croutons from the pan and set aside to cool.

In a food processor or blender, add the crushed garlic clove, white wine vinegar, anchovies, mayonnaise, and grated parmesan cheese.

Mix the ingredients to combine; the mixture will be thick.

Add around 2 tablespoons of warm water to the mixture and blitz again until smooth.

In a bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped chicken.

Add the dressing over the salad ingredients along with the crunchy croutons.

Top with more grated parmesan cheese.
