2 heads baby cos lettuce
400gm cold cooked chicken, shredded

Method
- Heat oven to 180°C.
- To make croutons: in a bowl, combine bread, olive oil, crushed garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix until bread is well coated. Spread out on a baking tray and bake for 5–10 mins or until golden and crunchy.

- Spread shredded chicken and ham evenly over the top and sprinkle with the parmesan.
- Top with the slightly cooled bread croutons, the remainder of the dressing and, if using, the boiled eggs and/or anchovies.
