Servings: 6 Prep 15 mins Grill 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 canned anchovy fillets
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 bag (3 heads) romaine hearts (18-ounce package), rinsed, dried, torn in pieces
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup fat-free garlic croutons

Make It

1. Mash anchovy fillets. Whisk in mashed garlic and mustard. Stir in vinegar and lemon juice; whisk in sugar, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until thickened. Add half the dressing (about 1/2 cup) to chicken in a plastic bag; seal. Reserve remaining dressing. Marinate chicken at room temperature, 20 minutes.

2. Heat grill, broiler or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken until instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees F, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let chicken rest 5 minutes.

3. In large bowl, toss remaining dressing, Parmesan and croutons. Slice chicken diagonally into thin strips; layer over salad.
