Not Just Another Chicken Caesar from Ali Slagle's I Dream of Dinner. Recipe available online here.
I never order chicken on a Caesar at a restaurant because the chicken is usually flavorless chicken breast with the texture of cotton balls.. This one had some appealing features. First is a shortcut dressing that uses mayo instead of eggs and oil. Still plenty of anchovies and garlic for flavor. it uses thighs instead of breast meat and marinates them in the dressing before cooking. Not sure that does a lot but if you're using boneless, skinless thighs as the recipe does, it's not a bad idea. Finally, the croutons are fried in the same pan used to cook the chicken so they're flavored with marinade and, importantly, chicken fat. Nice salad.
