Directions
1.

In a blender, add your egg yolks, mustard and olive oil. Blend whilst gradually adding vegetable oil until it emulsifies into a mayonnaise. Add your anchovies, pecorino, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Blend then season to taste

2.

Rip your bread into rough croutons, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 190C until golden and crispy (around 10 minutes)

3.

Bash your chicken breast between two pieces of parchment paper until it reaches an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper, then grill for 4-5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before chopping into 1cm thick slices.

4.

Fry your bacon on both sides until crispy, then chop into small pieces.

5.

Add your chopped lettuce to a mixing bowl with 2/3rds of the croutons, the chopped bacon, half the chicken and half of the dressing. Mix together until fully covered, then serve onto a plate. Add another drizzle of caesar dressing, more croutons and the rest of the chicken. Grate over some more pecorino and enjoy.
