  • Serves 4
  • Easy

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, skin on
  • 8 slices streaky bacon
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • juice ½ lemon
  • 3 tbsp natural yogurt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g parmesan, plus extra to serve
  • Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 2 small romaine lettuces

No-cook version: Chicken & olive Caesar salad
Buy a ready-roasted chicken and tear the meat into chunks. Toss with the dressing and lettuce as above, plus 2 torn, toasted wholemeal pittas, a small handful pitted green olives and 2 roasted red peppers from a jar, cut into chunks.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Season the chicken and place in a snug roasting tin. Drape the bacon around the chicken and roast for 15-20 mins until the bacon is crisp and the chicken just cooked through.

  2. In a bowl, mix the garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, oil and Parmesan, adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce, if you have any in the cupboard. Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce and tear the rest over a platter, mixing gently with the dressing. Serve with the chicken and crisp bacon, shaving over extra Parmesan, if you like.
