Cooking Instructions:

BEFORE COOKING:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan bake).
1. TO COOK THE CHICKEN:

Line an oven tray with baking paper. Remove the free-range chicken breasts from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally by holding flat on a board with the palm of your hand and slicing through sideways. Place chicken breast pieces on the oven tray and firmly press the Parmesan crumb onto each piece of chicken. Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins or until cooked through.
2. TO MAKE THE CROUTONS & COOK THE BROCCOLINI:

Line a second oven tray with baking paper. Cut the woody ends off the broccolini then lay them flat on the oven tray. Remove the grain bread from its packaging and dice into 2 cm cubes. Place onto the oven tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 10 mins.
3. TO COOK THE EGGS:

Bring a medium pot of water to the boil over a high heat. Using a spoon add the eggs and cook for 6 mins. Then rinse under cold water. When the eggs are cooled, peel and cut in half.
4. TO PREPARE THE SALAD:

Cut the tomatoes in large chunks. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the baby cos lettuce and discard. Slice the root off and then separate the leaves. Rinse under cold water and shake dry. Slice into 2 cm strips and place in a salad bowl. Shake the Caesar dressing and pour half over cos lettuce. Toss through the croutons and tomatoes.
TO SERVE:

Arrange Caesar salad in bowls. Top with broccolini and chicken and pour over remaining Caesar dressing. Top with egg and sprinkle over shaved Parmesan.
