   In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy fillets, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, massage the romaine lettuce with your hands for about 2 minutes to help break down the fibers.

   Tip: This step is important to help the salad hold its shape.

3. 3

   Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.

   Tip: Try to slice the chicken against the grain for a more tender texture.

4. 4

   Add the chicken breast strips to the bowl with the romaine lettuce and toss to coat.

   Tip: Use your hands to coat the chicken evenly with the salad.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper.

   Tip: This step helps to thicken the dressing and give it a creamier texture.

   Add the egg to the blender or food processor with the garlic and mustard mixture. Blend until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the egg is fully incorporated into the dressing.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of water to achieve the right consistency for your taste.

   Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the blender or food processor and blend until well combined.

   Tip: The cheese will help to thicken the dressing and give it a richer flavor.
