Ingredients

  • 250 g garlic mayo
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 40 g Parmesan grated
  • 50 ml milk
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 150 g pancetta
  • 2 romaine lettuce
  • 100 g croutons
  • 40 g Parmesan shaved

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the garlic mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, grated Parmesan, and milk until smooth. Taste and season if needed.
  • Add the pancetta to a dry frying pan over a medium heat and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan and leave the fat behind. That’s liquid gold, don’t waste it.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways so you have 4 thinner fillets. Add them to a bowl with the olive oil and smoked paprika, then mix well to coat.
  • Cook the chicken in the pancetta fat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and slice.
  • Shred the romaine lettuce and add it to a large bowl. Pour over the dressing, then add the croutons, crispy pancetta, shaved Parmesan, and sliced chicken.
  • Toss everything together until coated, then serve up straight away.
