Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil for cooking
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Anchovy Paste Optional
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons Water to thin

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, anchovy paste (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Add water until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour half of the dressing over the chicken, coating it completely. Reserve the other half for serving. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve immediately with the reserved Caesar dressing.

Notes

Don't Skip the Rest: Letting the chicken rest before slicing is crucial for a juicy texture.
Even Thickness: Pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness for even cooking.
Don't Overcook: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F without drying out.
