Method

  1. Season the chicken1 with salt and pepper, then brush with 4 g olive oil.

  2. Grill the chicken1 or cook it in a dry skillet for 5–6 minutes on each side, until browned with grill marks and the juices run clear.

  3. Cut the bread into cubes and toast in a skillet with 4 g oil for 4–5 minutes, until crisp.

  4. Mix the yogurt, mustard, grated garlic7, lemon8 juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

  5. Roughly chop the romaine2, halve the cherry9 tomatoes, and slice the chicken1.

  6. Place the romaine2 in a bowl as the base, then add the chicken1, cherry9 tomatoes, and croutons in sections.

  7. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing and sprinkle with grated Parmesan4.

Tips

Why it works
Cook the chicken in a dry pan so the juices stay in and the meat remains tender. A wet pan makes the chicken dry.
Substitutions
Replace the yogurt with sour cream, 60 g, for a thicker sauce. Skip the cherry tomatoes and add 50 g of diced cucumber.
Common mistakes
If the chicken is undercooked, the juice inside is pink. Check by cutting a slice: the middle should be white.
Storing and reheating
Keep for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes, covering the plate. Better to make the sauce fresh.
Serve with
Serve with a slice of whole grain bread, or for breakfast as a salad with an added egg.
