Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, parsley, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the ciabatta cubes in the olive oil mixture and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken in a Ziploc bag for at least 2 hours. Once marinated, drain and grill the chicken on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the sliced chicken, croutons, and dressing. Top with freshly grated Parmesan.
