Emulsify dressing with cooked yolk and olive oil; dry lettuce so dressing clings.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 10 min · Cook 10 min

Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper; sear in oil over medium-high until golden and cooked through; slice.
Hard-boil the egg; mash yolk with garlic, lemon juice, and cheese, then whisk in olive oil until thick.
Wash and dry romaine or lettuce; toss lightly with salt and plate.
Top with chicken, drizzle dressing, and finish with extra cheese and pepper.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

No lettuce? Use chilled blanched broccoli florets instead.

Keep dressing separate from greens; eat the same day for best texture.
