Stuff to know
This will make enough for 4-6 portions.
The dressing should have the consistency of thick yoghurt.
You can use up old bread when making the croutons.
By grilling the chicken, it gets a lovely bbq flavour.
The parmesan cheese is quite salty, so do not over season the dressing nor the chicken.
Add anchovies of a (soft) boiled egg if you want.
