Mini Chicken Caesar Salads Recipes

Steps:

• Make croutons: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes; remove from oven; and let cool.
• Make chicken: Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove from skillet and let cool.
• Prepare lettuce: Cut romaine crosswise into 1-inch ribbons; wash and dry.
• Make dressing: In a blender, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, Parmesan, anchovy fillets (if using), and garlic; blend until smooth. If preparing this recipe in advance, see storage instructions (below).
• If stored in refrigerator, bring chicken and dressing to room temperature. Slice chicken crosswise into strips; toss with croutons, lettuce, and dressing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly around side and in bottom of cups.
• On cutting board, cut out 2 (2 1/2-inch) rounds from each tortilla. Push 1 round into each muffin cup to form tortilla cup.
• Bake 5 minutes or until browned. Meanwhile, in small bowl, gently mix chicken and dressing.
• Divide lettuce evenly among cups. Top each with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with corn, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and the tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Stir the butter, grated garlic and Italian seasoning in a small bowl until combined. Use a rolling pin to flatten out each slice of bread. Trim the edges to remove the crusts and make each slice into a 3-inch square. Brush both sides of each slice with the butter mixture. Press one slice into each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan, so that the bread is completely covering the bottom and the corners are coming up the sides of the cup.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the muffin pan 15 minutes, then transfer the crouton cups to a rack to cool completely; they will crisp up as they cool.
• Using a vegetable peeler, shave 12 small Parmesan curls onto a small plate. Finely grate the remaining Parmesan (you will need 3 tablespoons) and set aside.
• Mound the anchovies, chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon salt on a cutting board. Using the side of a chef's knife, mash and chop the anchovies and garlic until well combined, then continue to work the mixture, holding the knife blade at an angle, until a smooth paste forms.
• Whisk the egg yolk, lemon juice and mustard together in a medium bowl. Adding drop by drop to start and whisking constantly, drizzle a few drops of oil into the yolk mixture. Continue, going slowly, until all the oil has been used and the mixture looks thick and creamy. Add the anchovy mixture and the grated Parmesan and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
• Toss the lettuce, chicken and half of the dressing in a large bowl, then taste and add additional dressing if desired. Mound some salad inside each crouton cup, then top each with a Parmesan curl and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Just before serving, stir in lettuce, onion and carrot; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In small bowl, mix chicken and dressing.
• Separate dough into 10 biscuits; divide each into 2 rounds.
• Press dough rounds in bottom and up sides of 20 ungreased mini muffin cups, extending dough 1/4 inch above edge of cups.
• Fill each cup with about 2 teaspoons of the chicken mixture.
• Bake 8-11 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown; remove from muffin pan.
• Top each with lettuce and cheese; serve warm.

Steps:

• Cover 4 plates with lettuce.
• Top with all remaining ingredients except dressing.
• Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray. Melt the butter in microwavable safe dish and stir in garlic salt. Set aside.
• Place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin. Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. Brush insides with the garlic butter and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. (time may vary according to your oven, so keep a close eye on them) Remove from the tin and allow to cool while preparing salad.
• Finely chop the romaine lettuce. If you have a food processor, use it. You really need a fine fine chop in order to fill the cups properly, so don't be lazy with this step!
• Pour on caesar salad dressing and stir until all pieces are coated. Adjust dressing (adding more or less) to suit personal preference.
• Spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups and sprinkle with freshly grated parmasan cheese. Garnish with fresh lemon, if desired.
• Bon Appetit! :).

Steps:

• Thread a crouton, romaine lettuce wedge, chicken cube, and Parmesan cheese cube onto each toothpick, respectively. Arrange toothpicks on a serving platter and drizzle Caesar salad dressing over each.

Steps:

• Whisk dressing ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
• Mix the lettuce with a small amount of dressing, just enough to barely coat the leaves. Place in a bowl to the side.
• Pour some warm water into a large shallow dish. Submerge one rice paper round in water until it begins to soften, about 45 seconds. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Place a small amount of lettuce in the center of the rice paper. Tightly roll into a cylinder, enclosing the lettuce. Repeat with the remaining rounds. Cover with a dampened paper towel or wrap in plastic. Chill. Can be made 4 hours ahead.
• When ready to serve, remove from plastic and cut each roll into 2-inch-long pieces. Stand upright on a platter and top with a spot of dressing. You can put crumbled pancetta, Parmesan cheese, or chopped nuts on top for flavor and garnish.
