How to Make Chicken Caesar Salad
Cook the Chicken Breast
Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
Pop them into a frying pan and fry until fully cooked.
You can also air fry them if you prefer. Put them on a low heat and give them a stir after about 10 minutes.
Make the Caesar Salad Dressing
To make the delicious dressing mince the anchovies.
Add about 100ml of lemon juice.
And a Tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
Then add about half a bottle of mayonnaise.
Finally add a Tablespoon of garlic granules.
Give it all a good stir.
And mix in the cooked chicken breast pieces.
How to Store Chicken Caesar Salad
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
I make a batch at the beginning of the week and then I can enjoy super quick and easy lunches all week.
How to Serve Chicken Caesar Salad
I love it served with boiled new potatoes and a side salad. It’s great spooned over packet potatoes and even in sandwiches.

A Note on Food Safety
Freezing and defrosting food really isn’t complicated. But it terrifies me how many people aren’t familiar with basic food hygiene so if you’re new to cooking from scratch and freezing please follow these safety guidlines.
The important things to remember are:
- Wash your hands and anything else that has been in contact with raw meat.
- Meals should last for about 3 days in the fridge.
- Do not defrost your meals at room temperature.
- Do not refreeze meals you have already defrosted.
- Consume food before the use by date.
A Little Bit About Me . . .
Hey there I’m Bridie, a busy mum to two amazing humans, a spirited border collie puppy and a pair of sweet guinea pigs. We homestead in a cherished Edwardian terrace in not so sunny Lancashire, England.
When I’m not spending time with my children and menagerie, I’m usually to be found in my craft room creating and blogging or in the kitchen cooking up a big batch of something tasty. I’m always looking for thrifty hacks to save money on my crafts and recipes. Crafting doesn’t have to cost a fortune!
I have been batch cooking for about 30 years (yikes that makes me feel old!) I’m sharing all my batch cook recipes, in depth batch cooking tutorials and all my tips and tricks to help you slash your food bills.
Each week I cook up a big batch of a single meal. Most of it goes in the freezer, then it’s just defrost and reheat or sling it in the oven. Even on busy school nights my family get to enjoy healthy home cooked meals that my kids actually eat.
Each week I share a new recipe on my blog. Most of my meals cost less than £1 per portion.
I really hope that my ideas can help you to stretch your budget.
