Preparation
Caesar Dressing:
In a blender, combine cream, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper; purée until smooth. With motor running, pour in lemon juice. Add yogurt and pulse to blend. Let stand for 5 min or until thickened.
In a shallow dish, pour 3 tbsp (45 mL) of the dressing over chicken and turn to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Grill chicken over medium heat (or broil) for 15 min, turning once, or until no longer pink inside. Transfer to cutting board; slice thinly.
In salad bowl, combine lettuce, grated Canadian Parmesan cheese and 3/4 cup (180 mL) of the remaining dressing. Toss to coat. Divide among serving plates and top with croutons and chicken. Drizzle with more of the dressing to taste.
