- 4 ounces Italian bread, cut in 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 4 chicken cutlets (each 2 to 3 ounces and 1/2 inch thick)
- 1 package romaine lettuce hearts (18 to 20 ounces)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (optional)
- 1 small garlic clove
- Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
- Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the croutons from the oven and let cool.
- Make the chicken: Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove from the skillet and let cool.
- Prepare the lettuce: Cut the romaine hearts crosswise into 1-inch ribbons; wash and dry.
- Make the dressing: In a blender, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, Parmesan, anchovy fillets (if using), and garlic; blend until smooth.
- Slice the chicken crosswise into strips; toss with the croutons, lettuce, and dressing.
