Ingredients

3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 teaspoon sunflower oil
Salt and pepper
1 egg
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup anchovy fillets, drained
1 teaspoon Maille® Dijon Originale mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss in the sunflower oil, salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven to cool.
Place the egg, garlic, anchovy fillets, Maille® Dijon Originale mustard and vinegar into a food processor. Blend for 30 seconds, before slowly adding the olive oil. When all of the oil is added, the dressing should be slightly thickened.

Tips:

For a crispy chicken cutlet, make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
To get a nice golden brown crust on the chicken cutlets, make sure to sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
If you don't have Dijon mustard on hand, you can substitute yellow mustard or grainy mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a sharper, more complex flavor that will really elevate the salad.
Use a good quality Parmesan cheese for the dressing. Freshly grated Parmesan will give you the best flavor.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought croutons for the salad. However, homemade croutons are easy to make and add a delicious touch.

Conclusion:

This Dijon chicken Caesar salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a light lunch. The crispy chicken cutlets are coated in a flavorful Dijon mustard sauce, and the salad is tossed with a creamy Caesar dressing. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table.
