Servings: persons

4 cups crusty bread cubed day-old
2 tablespoons EVOO
1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1 cup shredded Parmesan about 2 oz
1 clove garlic
2 anchovy filets
1 lemon
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts
kosher salt
2 romaine lettuce hearts chopped
freshly ground pepper

1
Make croutons: preheat oven to 350F. Toss the bread cubes in a large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, tossing halfway through, about 20 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, make the dressing: puree yogurt, 2 tbsp parmesan, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, mustard and 2 tbsp water in a mini food processor or blender.
3
Pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with a heavy skillet until 1/2 inch thick. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil; add the chicken and season with salt. Brush evenly with 1 tbsp of the dressing and sprinkle with 2 tbsp parmesan. Broil, undisturbed, until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
4
Toss the lettuce, croutons and the remaining dressing and 3/4 cup parmesan in a large bowl. Thinly slice chicken. Divide the salad among bowls, top with chicken and season with pepper.
