Ingredients

2 small breasts, grilled (250g) Chicken Breast — What turns this from a side into a meal — about 35g of protein per serving.
1 large head (200g) Romaine Lettuce — The only lettuce with ribs strong enough to hold a heavy dressing.
shaved (30g) Parmesan — Salt, umami and a surprisingly large calcium hit for the quantity.
2 eggs, soft-boiled (100g) Eggs — Halved over the top. In the original the yolk went into the dressing; this way you can see it.
1 1/2 tbsp (20g) Olive Oil — With lemon, anchovy and mustard, a dressing that needs no mayonnaise at all.
