Chef notes

This salad is my take on the cozy flavors of chicken Parmesan but reimagined in a refreshing way. The "croutons" are actually protein-packed chicken Parm bites, and the dressing nods to classic Italian technique while keeping things bright and olive-oil forward. Radicchio adds a chic, wintry bitterness that makes this feel seasonal and restaurant-level but weeknight-easy!

Technique tip: Don't overbake the chicken Parm "croutons" — pulling them from the oven when the cheese is golden but not too dark keeps them tender, juicy and crouton-like rather than dry.

Swap options: Swap ground chicken for ground turkey; swap anchovies for 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce if you prefer an anchovy-free Caesar.
