For the Caesar dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (2-ounce) can anchovy fillets, drained, and minced
2 lemons, juiced
2 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled, and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch kosher salt, plus more to taste
For the chicken lettuce wraps:
4 chicken breasts, halved horizontally
6 slices bread, ideally crusty and rustic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 small head radicchio, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons drained capers
3 hearts of romaine, broken into leafs for lettuce cups

1
Make the Caesar dressing. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust accordingly.
2
Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to a big plastic bag and add 1/2 cup Caesar dressing. Mush around to completely coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge or up to 1 day.
3
Get your grill going. For charcoal: Set up for one-zone, high-temperature cooking. For gas: Heat to high until the temperature reaches about 600u00b0 F. Make sure the grill grates are clean, then lightly oil them.
4
Grill the chicken over direct heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until charred on the outside and cooked (about 165u00b0 F) on the inside. Transfer to a plate to rest.
5
Now grill the bread. First drizzle with olive oil, then grill over direct heat until charred, a couple minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool and crisp.
6
Chop the chicken into chicken chunks. Add to a bowl along with the radicchio, parmesan, and capers. Dress with the remaining Caesar dressing-use however much feels right to you. Taste and adjust salt accordingly.
7
Tear the grilled bread slices into crumbs.
8
Serve as such: lettuce cups on one plate, chicken salad in a bowl, crumbs on another plate. To assemble: Fill a lettuce cup with chicken salad and top with breadcrumbs.
