GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD
Depending on your appetite, this variation on a classic Caesar salad with grilled chicken makes an excellent first-course or a full-on meal. Hitting the lettuce with a little fire is an unexpectedly brilliant trick; the green leaves char and crisp and the insides become slightly tender, but you still get the satisfying crunch everyone loves about romaine. If you're a pescatarian, try it with grilled tuna, salmon or scallops.

Steps:
- Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add anchovies and cook on low, stirring, until they fall apart and meld with the oil. Place in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and remaining olive oil.
- Place chicken in a bowl, add 1/4 cup of the olive oil dressing, turn to coat chicken breasts, cover and set aside to marinate 2 hours, longer if refrigerated.
- Separate egg whites and yolks. Place yolks in a small dish, add a little of the dressing, blend until smooth and mix in with the rest of the dressing. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Dice whites and keep them separate.
- Light a grill. Remove any tired outer leaves from the romaine, then quarter each head vertically. Place on a large platter and drizzle cut sides with a little of the dressing. Grill romaine close to the heat source, turning clusters of leaves and any individual leaves so they wilt a little and become lightly charred. Remove. Place bread on grill and sear to toast. Remove. Place chicken on grill and cook, turning a few times and basting with the marinade until cooked through, about 15 minutes. It's best to grill chicken away from the source of heat so it does not char.
- Coarsely shred romaine onto a large rimmed platter. Dice toasted bread and add it, along with the egg whites. Drizzle with about half the dressing. Slice the chicken about 1/2-inch thick, arrange it over the romaine and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Put the chicken breasts in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil; toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

- Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the chicken reads 165 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Let cool, then slice thinly across the grain.
- Slice the sourdough loaf in half horizontally and lay the two halves cut-side up. Scoop out some of the bread from both halves and reserve for another use.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a small bowl. Remove 1/4 cup of the dressing and add it to a large bowl along with the kale. Toss to coat and season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Spread the remaining salad dressing on both halves of the bread. Building on the bottom half, layer half the kale salad, bacon, sliced chicken, and a sprinkle of salt. Place the radishes on top of the chicken in a single layer, then add the cucumber in a single layer. Scoop the remaining kale salad into the top half of the bread, and place on top of the sandwich. Wrap tightly in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and secure with twine if necessary. Place a brick (see Cook's Note) or cast-iron skillet on top for at least 3 hours to flatten, refrigerated. About 45 minutes before serving, bring the sandwich to room temperature.

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD A NEW WAY
While the flavor will be good using leftover cold chicken in this recipe, the key to the specialness of the recipe and the great vibrant flavor of the salad, is to use warm, just-cooked chicken breasts and to place the warm, cooked chicken pieces IN the dressing instead of placing the dressing over the chicken. This technique adds a lot of flavor and works well with most any beef or shrimp salad recipe using a vinaigrette-type (not creamy) dressing as well.

- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and tender while grilling.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside cooked through.
