Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad
1 head Romaine lettuce
2 cups croutons (recipe below)
3 strips bacon, coarsely chopped
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko
4 tbsp. Cranky Jimmy's Cajun Spice - or 1/2 cup Cranky Jimmy's Coating Mix with Cajun in it
​
Dressing
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp anchovy paste
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup mayo or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp Cranky Jimmy's Original
​
Instructions
​
Whisk lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard and Original until well blended. Add mayo and whisk until creamy. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
​
Mix Cajun and breadcrumbs, coat chicken with this mixture and bake at 350 F for 15 mins or until done. Could also use some Cranky Jimmy's Coating Mix with Cajun already mixed in, if desired. If so, you will not need to add the 4 tbsp extra Cajun.
​
Put dressing on salad, toss, put chicken on top and serve.
​
Homemade croutons:
​
Take 1 large loaf (French, sour dough, Italian), cut into pieces, 1.5" x 1.5" x .5". In bowl mix a little bit of butter/margarine, 1 tsp Original, and a smidge of parsley. Heat pan on med-high. Toss all ingredients into pan, stir and fry until bread is golden brown. Absolutely delicious and if you make extra, they will last in the fridge for up to a week.
