300g Free-Range Chicken Breast
1 Lemon, juice and zest
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Greek Yoghurt
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Oregano
½ tsp Paprika
¼ cup Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
Pinch Salt & Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, drizzled

Method
1. In a container combine chicken, lemon, garlic, yoghurt, onion powder, oregano, paprika, fresh parsley, salt and pepper. Allow to marinate whilst preparing the rest of the salad.
2. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray. Lay out the sourdough, sprinkle with garlic powder and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until croutons are crispy (keep an eye on them so they do not burn!).
3. Heat oil in a grill pan on a high heat.
4. Add lettuce and cook for a few minutes until lightly charred. Set aside.
5. Add chicken and cook on a medium heat until browned. Slice chicken and set aside.
6. Combine mayonnaise and olive oil in a small bowl.
7. Toss the grilled lettuce with the cooked chicken, crispy croutons, parmesan cheese and mayonnaise dressing.
