Method

  1. Coat chicken in Cajun seasoning. Sear in a cast iron skillet 5-6 minutes per side.
  2. Whisk egg yolk, crushed anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, and olive oil into Caesar dressing.
  3. Chop romaine and toss with half the dressing. Arrange on plates.
  4. Slice blackened chicken and lay over the salad.
  5. Top with parmesan shavings, croutons, extra dressing, and cracked pepper.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 14 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
