Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 2 pieces Anchovy fillets
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Almond flour
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dressing. In a small blender or food processor, combine the anchovy fillets, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 5

To prepare the croutons, whisk the egg in a small bowl. Dip almond flour into the egg, then spread out on a baking tray, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until golden and crunchy.

Step 6

Wash, dry, and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

Step 7

Add the shredded Parmesan cheese to the salad bowl with the lettuce.

Step 8

Add the grilled chicken slices on top of the lettuce.

Step 9

Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

Step 10

Top the salad with the baked almond croutons for added crunch.

Step 11
