RECIPE
Makes large salads for 2 very hungry people + extra dressing + breadcrumbs
▪8 raw chicken tenders
▪4 heads of little gem lettuce (2 heads per person)
▪20g or 1 1/2Tbsp olive oil (for cooking tenders)
▪50g or 1/4c olive oil
▪150g or 1 1/2c panko breadcrumbs (makes more than you need for salad)
▪20g or 4tsp chopped capers
▪Grated parmesan
Chop, wash, and dry/spin lettuce well. Preheat medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add squeeze of olive oil, and place tenders in pan. It's ok if they're cozy in the pan. We're searing and steaming. Cover and allow to cook for about 5min. Flip tenders, cover again, and reduce heat to low to cook for another 2-3min. Tenders are done when internal temp reaches 145F/62C. Remove from pan and allow to res briefly.
Wipe oil out of pan, increase heat to med-high, and add 50g or 1/4c oil. Once shimmering, add breadcrumbs. Toss to combine. Add pinch of salt. Continue stirring and tossing while cooking to a nice golden brown for about 60 seconds. Remove from pan and allow to dry and cool on a towel.
CAESAR DRESSING:
▪1 large egg
▪45g or 1/2c grated parm
▪30g or 1 can of oil packed anchovies, rinsed well (SUBSTITUTE 25g Worcestershire if you don't like chovies + add 15g more parm)
▪1 clove garlic
▪50g or 3 1/2Tbsp lemon juice
▪10g or 2tsp water
▪275g or 1 1/4c neutral oil (canola, light olive oil, avocado, etc)
Add all ingredients except oil to tall sided container and blend with immersion blender until solids are broken down then slowly stream in oil while blending.
TO ASSEMBLE SALAD (for 2 large salads):
Add lettuce, chopped capers, 4 very large pinches of grated parm, 4 very large pinches of breadcrumbs, chicken tenders (chopped), and top with 4-6+ spoons of caesar to your taste. Top with additional breadcrumbs, sprinkle of parm, and additional dressing.

I agree.. The fried pank gives that 'magic' texture and taste in the dressing
For anyone following along at home - BOTH Brian and Kenji are right about dressings. Kenji's method uses a tall container and slowly moving the immersion blender straight up, so while it looks like you're "dumping all the oil in" in effect, the oil floating on top is slowly incorporated, as if streamed. Kenji's mayo has enough emulsifiers and the hand blender is powerful enough that you can actually screw this up and it will still work, making it feel like you don't need to manage the speed of the oil (or the speed of your hand, depending), but actually if you do them side by side, while an emulsion will form either way, if you jerk your hand around quickly to incorporate the mayo/dressing it'll wind up WAY thinner than the slowly incorporated version.

The question is, what does it look like the next day in he fridge? If the oil is not slowly incorporated any mayo-style dressing will separate if it sits. Obviously if you only make enough for one salad, it makes no difference.

If you put everything in a container, put the immersion blender in (to the bottom) and start blending...then move up once it's emulsified, it should also work. This removes the pouring element and it works 9 times out of 10.
I’m so happy for this type of video! Yes, more “ weekday after work” type recipes are what we need. Thanks Bri!
Oh my gosh Brian! I made this for dinner tonight and it’s the absolute best chicken Caesar salad I’ve ever eaten. The dressing was perfect, the toasted breadcrumbs were delicious and it all came together perfectly. My husband agrees too. Best EVER!
I love this style. I’m in the process of becoming not fat so it would be great to see more meals I can cook during the week once I’m not fat anymore, haha.

If you swap the breadcrumbs for bacon crumbles, it’s virtually keto. That’s my reasoning 😀
The toasted bread crumbs are a cool trick to save time and effort but I have some issues with flavor. The croutons I would use would generally be flavored with garlic and these aren't. So to remedy that, maybe cook some smashed garlic in the oil for a short time to infuse the oil with some garlic deliciousness, then fry the bread crumbs in the oil.
The man is relentless; he just doesn't stop. He's got creativity enough for ten people. Thanks for the video Bri.

I end up buying EVERYTHING YOU USE in your kitchen, and I am so thankful you helped me finding all the good kitchen tools without wasting my money on choosing wrong items.👍👍👍!!!
Bri that salad looks hawesome. Our family likes doing ‘salad Sundays’ and this looks like Sunday dinner to us, bruv. Keep up the good work. This channel has me watching KZread instead of cable.
Thanks for such a clear and well produced video. I made this the other night and it was really great. I find it hard to believe I was able to make something so delicious! Winner winner chicken Caesar salad dinner!
Dude you are killing it! Keep doing what you do!!! I am a self proclaimed chef (dad of 2 picky eaters) and your videos helped make me a superstar in the kitchen and my outdoor pizza oven!! Awesome job and congratulations on your accomplishments
Looks amazing, dying to try the fried breadcrumbs! I don’t know why, but the “let’s eat this thiiiiing” at the end is always so satisfying. 🤣🙌
Brian, I recently discovered your channel and this was one of the first videos of yours I watched. Today, I made chicken for a Caesar salad following your directions to a T and I wanted to tell you that they came out PERFECT! I never would've thought about using chicken tenders instead of breasts. It was so easy and quick to prep them for the salad and they were amazing. I have to admit, I had my doubts at first, particularly about the cook times; I thought for sure mine would get really dark, but man they came out looking exactly like yours - they were tender, juicy, and very tasty! Thanks so much for helping me make one of my favorite salads at home with such a simple method for doing the chicken!
This channel is dope. Definitely my new favorite KZread cooking channel. Your recipes are meticulous and I find myself learning something new about recipes I’ve cooked many times in the past.
I always look forward to your videos every week! As with all of your recipes, thanks for being such a great teacher!

One of the goat(s)!!!! It's got everything the palette wishes for... I love the idea with the fried bread crumbs as well.. Never miss a crunchy bite😊🌻
Def gonna make this ! looks amazing Bri
Caesar is my go to salad, so pumped to try this recipe out!
This looks great! Will definitely give it a go. By the way, in Sicily we melt anchovies into the olive oil before toasting the bread crumbs. Try it, it‘s delicious!

Made this today for my wife and me. It was delicious! A solid recipe! I wasn't sure about the panko breadcrumbs before I made it, but they were just right!
Another great recipe! Love the fried panko, and the capers bring another level of flavor🤌
That looks so delicious, I am definitely going to try that. Brian I love your dance moves!
This looks great, I love caesar salad and you made it look really approachable.
Love this!! As always, thanks for the recipe. As someone who's in a diet, would you every consider showing a "low cal" version of your recipes / maybe give us some good low-cal recipe video's in general? Can't wait to make this as my weekend cheat meal!
Caesar salad always seemed difficult to enjoy but I love this version!! Keep the grate job
Another recipe I need to try. Thanks Bri!
made this a few nights ago and it was awesome. i had some leftover dressing and chopped lettuce. i just toasted a split ciabatta loaf, put a layer of tuna in olive oil and topped with the dressed lettuce. added a nice layer of shaved parm and sprinkled some chopped capers over it. best dang tuna sandwich! thanks Bri
Done this again! Loooove this recepie 🥰 And yes, I am one of those that put ALL oil at once 😀 just work your mixer from BOTTOM slowly up and down, and it is super great and easy. Brian, I love red onion- how do you do if you use it, so it isn’t become this strong strong taste? Love this Channel- just so you know.
Whatever you cook, it looks delicious !!! I just like to watch you create something incredible !!!
A+ Caesar salad dressing. Eating it by the spoonful.
I made this tonight. Absolutely brilliant in the on the pan frying bread crumbs. I just took my existing croutons and broke them down into bread crumbs then fried them with the oil in a pan. I love that every bite has a crunch to it. Brilliant. No longer searching for that crouton to load on my fork with the salad. Added the capers. I used chicken breasts with a Montreal seasoning. Different texture as the breast shredded a bit. But was juicy and still gave a great flavor to the salad. Will never do Caesar other than this way again. Thank you!
Awesome Bri! Cant wait to try it!

Everything you make looks so good, especially the 1.8 million pizzas you've made. Once I hit my goal, I'm going back through your videos to make everything, I really can't wait.

Another win. My wife was suspicious of the bread crumbs instead of croutons, but ended up liking the fact that you get crunch in every bite. I used anchovy paste from a tube because that's what I have on hand and it worked fine. I've made 3 salads in the past couple days AND I'm still working through butter chicken leftovers. Thanks, Bri.

Brian, Ive been meticulousley wading through all the caesar salads on the inter webs and so far, this is the one that works the best for me. LOTS of anchovies.... why even make Caesar salad if there are no anchovies.??? Aggressively pre blend the aromatics and then drizzle in the oil. I use avocado oil. Perfection! Haven't used your panko trick yet but will asap...I still have croutons floating around. Chicken tenders are pretty insipid things and I never used them, but this is the perfect application for them. The family is very happy!!!Great quick weeknight healthy meal. Thanks so much. !!!
