anchovy fillets

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Capers provide a similar briny flavor, while sardines are a more affordable fish option.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor, while grana padano is a less expensive cheese alternative.

Flatten the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper.

Season the chicken with a salt mixture of chopped rosemary and sea salt.

Add smoked paprika and black pepper to the chicken.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.

In another pan, heat more olive oil and add bread crumbs, seasoning with lemon zest, black pepper, and salt.

Toast the bread crumbs until golden and crispy, stirring frequently.

For the Caesar dressing, combine chopped anchovies, egg yolk, and garlic in a bowl.

Add Dijon mustard and a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.

Whisk while slowly drizzling in oil until it forms a rough mayonnaise.

Loosen the dressing with lemon juice and mix in plenty of Parmesan cheese.

Serve the salad with baby gem lettuce, crispy chicken skin, soft boiled eggs, and the crispy bread crumbs on top.
