Remove the tenderloin and set aside for another use. Butterfly the chicken breast and place a sheet of cling film over the chicken and tap it out to an even thickness with a rolling pin or meat tenderiser
Sprinkle over a few sprigs of thyme some grated parmesan and lay out 3 anchovy fillets down the middle of the chicken, roll the chicken up into a sausage. Wrap tightly in cling film and place in a zip lock bag.
Place the chicken into the oven steam setting 60 degrees for 40 mins

HINTS & TIPS

Again like many of our recipes this is not traditional we have replaced the bacon with the chicken skin and have left out the poached egg. Please don’t let this phase you add bacon or crisp prosciutto or anything else to suit your taste
Given the name of the Caesar Salad you might think it was invented in Italy but it was actually created by an Italian restaurateur Caesar Cardini in of all places Mexico
