Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
I forgot how much I loved a Ceaser Salad until I created my own Gluten Free Crispy Chicken Salad which of course, is gluten free. Whilst keeping the traditional ingredients, I have added my own twist (of course) to make this adapatable to whole family. They will not even know that its gluten free!
Gluten Free Crispy Chicken Ceaser Salad is a delicious difference and yes, healthy! Follow the recipe to read how….


Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it offers so much texture. The crunch of the crouton. The softness of the boiled egg. The crispy bacon. The sharp edge of Parmesaen. Bliss!
Ingredients
- COS LETTUCE: The foundation of the salad. Crisp!
- CHICKEN BREAST FILLETS TO CRUMB WITH GF CRUMBS: I always prefer to cook with chicken thigh, but this recipe requires breast
- BACON: A must!
- PARMESEAN: The star!
- FREE RANGE EGG: Always free range!
- GLUTEN FREE BREAD OR SOURDOUGH: To make your own croutons in 5 mins
- CEASER DRESSING: Good quality gluten free store bought
- TO SERVE: Bowls are not big enough, plates all the way!
Instructions

- Let’s get cooking! First the crispy chicken! Its so easy. Make sure the breast is thinly sliced for even cooking. On a plate, spread out the gluten free crumbs and season with salt/pepper. Press the chicken breast into the crumbs. Yes, you have read this right – no egg no flour.
- Place the chicken in batches to be cooked in the airfryer. 200c for 15 minutes until cooked through. Set aside
- Then dice up the bacon and gluten free bread into squares. Place in the airfryer 200c for 10 mins to crisp! The bacon will flavour the croutons.
- Meanwhile, boil a small saucepan to create hard boiled eggs. Bring the water to boil, then add the eggs, 8 minutes!
- Shred the cos lettuce and start to plate your masterpiece.
- Then slice the chicken breast add to the lettuce base. Then layer with the bacon, croutons, peeled and sliced boiled eggs. Top with a generous amount of shaved parmesesan. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and your Ceaser Salad dressing (store bought or you can make your own). Amazing!!!!!

Can I add other vegetables?
I like to add Avocado but thats about it. Simple is best!

Yes, you can! This sort of dish is great for batch cooking, so go for it!
