This Caesar dressing will be a great dip or sandwich spread too. Don't worry, the anchovies won't make it taste fishy—they just add a delicious salty flavor.

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp.

    dijon mustard

  • 1 Tbsp.

    red wine vinegar 

  • 1 tsp.

    Worcestershire sauce

  • 4

    anchovy fillets

  • 2

    garlic cloves

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 1/2 cup

    olive oil

  • 1/4 cup

    grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

  • 1/4 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • 1 tsp.

    black pepper, plus more to taste

Chicken

  • 3

    skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)

  • 1/4 cup

    whole milk

  • 1 Tbsp.

    dijon mustard

  • 3

    large eggs

  • 1/2 cup

    all-purpose flour

  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup

    seasoned breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup

    grated parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup

    olive oil, plus more as needed

  • 3

    romaine lettuce hearts, chopped

  • 1

    lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  • For the dressing:

    1. Step 1Combine the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice in a blender and blend well. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil in a slow steady stream until smooth. Add the parmesan, salt and pepper and blend again.
  • For the chicken:

    1. Step 1Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 6 thin pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound to an even thickness using the smooth side of a mallet or a rolling pin.
    2. Step 2Whisk the milk, mustard and eggs in a shallow dish. Place the flour in another dish; season with salt and pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan in a third dish. Set the three dishes aside. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture and then coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on a plate until ready to cook.
    3. Step 3Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 or 3 pieces of chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil as needed.
    4. Step 4Toss the lettuce with the dressing in a large bowl. Top with more parmesan. Serve the chicken with the salad and lemon wedges.
