Recipe created by Daniel Cooper

  1. Make the Caesar dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mashed anchovies, grated garlic, and Parmesan in a bowl. Stir until smooth and season with Maldon Garlic Sea Salt and  black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts and flatten to about 1cm thick. 
  3. Coat each chicken breast by first dredging in Maldon Garlic Sea Salt, seasoned flour, then dipping in beaten egg, and finally pressing into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  4. Prepare the salad base by combining the heritage and bitter leaves in a large bowl. Add the chopped anchovies but leave undressed until ready to serve.
  5. Preheat your Weber Slate Griddle over medium direct heat.
  6. Add the olive oil and butter to the hot griddle. Once melted, add the halved garlic bulb and thyme sprigs. Let them infuse the oil for about 20 seconds.
  7. Place the breaded chicken onto the griddle and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden, crisp, and cooked through.
  8. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the salad leaves and anchovies with the Caesar dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with Maldon Garlic Sea Salt.
  9. To serve, lay each schnitzel on a plate, top with a mound of dressed salad, and finish with plenty of shaved Parmesan and a final pinch of Maldon Garlic Sea Salt.
