anchovy

lemon juice

Worcestershire sauce

cheese cheese

tsp salt

tsp Black pepper

white bread

garlic (,

olive oil

eggs (, cooked

/ 1lb chicken breast

tsp EACH salt and pepper

Whizz all ingredients in food processor until smooth, starting with 3 tbsp milk.

Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired, and use milk to get the dressing to the desired consistency. (Note 6)

Set aside for 20 minutes+ to allow flavours to develop.

Place bacon into a cold skillet (no oil), then turn onto medium high. Cook until golden, turn, cook other side until golden. Remove onto paper towels, cool, then chop.

Bacon

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Toast bread in the toaster for 1 minute (or oven for 2 minutes each side) until surface is dried but not browned.,

Rub both sides of each piece of bread with the cut side of the garlic (Note 7).

Remove crust from bread (optional) and cut into cubes - around 1.5 cups. Drizzle with 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt, then bake until golden, shaking the tray once. Sandwich bread will take around 7 minutes, sourdough and similar breads take 12 - 15 min.

Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Place over medium high heat and bring to simmer. Once the water is simmering, turn down to medium (gentle simmer) and cook for 3 min (for soft centres), 4 min for firm yolks and 6 min for hard boiled. Remove eggs, run under cold water for 15 sec then leave submerged in a bowl of cold tap water for 5 min. Peel then set aside. (Note 6)

Chicken: Either pound the chicken to about 1.2cm/ 1/2&quot; even thickness, or slice each breast in half horizontally. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Use bacon fat remaining in skillet. Cook first side for 5 min, turn then cook the other side for 2 min. Remove, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 min. Cut into slices.

When the grill reaches temperature, open the lid and place the 4 chicken breasts on one side of the grill. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.

While those cook, halve your romaine hearts, the long way. When the 5 minutes are up, open the grill and flip the chicken. Cook for 3 minutes.

Open the grill and arrange the romaine hearts cut side down on the grill around the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes. Then remove everything from the grill.

You can plate it all together, family style or chop up the romaine and chicken and toss with &#8220;croutons&#8221; and dressing. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast (the &#8220;cheese).
