Chicken Caesar Salad with Garlicky Croutons

Ingredients

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp. grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

4 tbsp. olive oil

kosher salt

black pepper

1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 in. thick wedges

2 thick slices country bread

4 6-oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 clove garlic

1 head romaine, sliced crosswise into 1/2 in. wide strips (about 10 c.) 

Directions

1.       Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, Parmesan, 2 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; set aside.

2.      Brush the onion with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brush the bread with 2 teaspoon oil. Brush the chicken with the remaining teaspoon oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

3.      Grill the chicken and onion until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are tender, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill the bread until toasted and slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side; rub each side of the bread with the garlic.

4.      Slice the chicken and cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. Toss the romaine with the dressing. Fold in the chicken, onions and grilled croutons. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.
