SERVES 2 people
Essential kit
You will need and air fryer and mixing bowl.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
25g of iceberg lettuce
15g of Parmesan cheese, peeled
1 slice of crusty bread
4 tablespoons of store-bought Ceasar salad dressing
1 teaspoon of oregano
Olive oil
Seasoning
Method
First spray a little olive oil on to your chicken breasts and season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Next place your chicken in to your air fryer and cook on 190c for around 18 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked throughout. Turn your chicken breasts over around half way through to ensure they both cook evenly in the air fryer.
So whilst your chicken is cooking, you can prepare your croutons. Cut a slice of crusty bread (white, brown or wholemeal, whichever you prefer) into similar sized cubes. Pop into a large mixing bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of oregano and season with salt and pepper. Mix together well ensuring all the croutons are coated in oil.
When your chicken has 5 minutes left to cook, add your croutons to the drawer and air fry together with the chicken for the final 5 minutes.
Take your chicken breasts out of the air fryer and leave to rest for a minute or two before slicing.
Whilst your chicken is resting, wash and slice your iceberg lettuce and put into two serving bowls. Shave over your parmesan cheese then add your sliced chicken. Pour over two tablespoons of Caesar salad dressing to each salad bowl then sprinkle over your air fried croutons. Serve your air fried caesar salad as a light lunch or as a starter to a dinner.
