Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package regular active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
3 cups Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
1/2 cup reduced-fat Caesar dressing
1 large or 2 small bunches romaine, torn into bite-size pieces (10 cups)
1 cup Caesar or garlic-flavored croutons
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in Bisquick® mix until dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto surface lightly dusted with Bisquick mix; gently roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Knead about 1 minute or until smooth. Cover and let rise 10 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Grease outsides of five 10-ounce (large) custard cups. Place cups upside down on large ungreased cookie sheet. Divide dough into 5 equal parts. Pat or roll each part into 7-inch circle. Shape circles over outsides of custard cups. (Do not curl dough under edges of cups.)
  • Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Tap custard cups to loosen bread bowls. Cool 3 minutes; carefully lift bread bowls off custard cups. (Custard cups and bread will be hot.) Cool bread bowls upright on wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, heat coals or gas grill. Place chicken on grill. Cover and grill 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Cut chicken diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. In large bowl, pour dressing. Add romaine; toss to coat. Sprinkle with croutons, cheese and pepper; toss. Divide salad among bread bowls. Top each with chicken.

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 30

2 cups of 3/4-inch cubed dried French or Italian white bread, crusts removed
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Angel Dust Cajun Seasoning (see below)
Creole Anchovy Dressing
1 anchovy fillet
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 large egg
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons Creole mustard
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon water
1/8 teaspoon Angel Dust Cajun Seasoning (see below)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound romaine lettuce, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
Grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
5 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • To prepare croutons, heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the bread cubes, stirring and tossing in the pan to evenly coat the bread with the oil. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning while stirring continuously. Toast for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Reserve for garnishing the salad.
  • To make the dressing, place the anchovy and garlic into a food processor, cover, and pulse on and off several times. Add the egg, and, with the motor running, slowly add the vegetable and olive oils. Add the cheese, mustard, lemon and lime juices, water, Cajun seasoning, pepper, and salt; process briefly until ingredients are incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a large bowl, toss romaine with the dressing, allowing approximately 3 tablespoons of the dressing per serving. Serve on chilled salad plates; top with croutons and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container. The spice mix keeps its best flavor for about two months.
