INGREDIENTS
- 16 oz penne pasta
- 1 head romaine heart lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, sliced
- 8 oz bacon, browned and crumbled
- 1 lb chicken breast
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- Parmesan shards (for garnish)
For the Caesar dressing
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 filets anchovies
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once tender, drain and rinse the pasta to stop the cooking. Set it aside to cool.
- Cook the bacon. Using a grill pan, grill, or skillet, cook the bacon until it is browned and crisp on both sides, 6-8 minutes.
- Cook the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about ¼-inch thick. Salt and pepper the chicken on both sides. Use a grill pan or stand-alone grill to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 160°F, 3-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set it aside. The carry-over cooking will bring the finished breasts to an internal temperature of 165°F. Alternatively, the chicken can be drizzled with olive oil and roasted in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the dressing. Chop and mash together the minced garlic and anchovy filets until they form a paste. In a bowl, combine the paste, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk to combine.
- Assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the prepared pasta, chopped romaine, red onion, crumbled bacon, and diced chicken. Add half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add the remaining dressing as desired. Garnish with shards of Parmesan and serve.

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
