- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add extra-virgin olive oil in a slow steady stream.
- Add crushed pepper, crushed garlic, and chicken tenders.
- Saute chicken tenders or breast slices in garlic oil until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add wine to the pan and reduce heat to medium low.
- Let the liquid cook out and tenders cook through, about 3 to 4 minutes more, then remove pan from heat.
- Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and sprinkle with parsley salt and pepper.
- Pile tenders along side a generous portion of Caesar greens and serve.
- To make dressing, combine anchovies, garlic, and oil in a metal or heatproof glass bowl.
- Place bowl on grill top and cover grill.
- Cook oil mixture 2 or 3 minutes or until garlic is speaking by sizzling in oil.
