Instructions

For the salad, cut the chicken breast into strips and pan-fry in a shallow pan over medium heat until cooked through, about 6 – 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.

Cook the bacon until very crispy in a separate frying pan. Remove from the pan and cool then cut into thick strips.

For the dressing, place the mayonnaise in a mixing bowl and mix in the Parmesan, garlic and anchovy. Add the water to thin it out, adding more water if necessary.
