Dressing Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, plain yogurt, minced garlic, black pepper, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Consider storing the dressing in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Chicken Preparation
- Clean your chicken tenders under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, marinate the chicken by whisking together a large egg, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat each chicken tender with this mixture for maximum flavor.
Coating the Chicken
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Dip each marinated chicken tender into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Shake off any excess flour before baking.
Baking the Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the coated chicken tenders on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Lightly spray the chicken with avocado oil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip each tender, spray again, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Salad Assembly
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with half of the prepared dressing.
- Layer the dressed lettuce on a serving plate, top with crispy chicken tenders, croutons, and drizzle any remaining dressing on top.
Serving
- Finish off by adding freshly shaved Parmesan cheese on top.
- Serve immediately while fresh and warm.

Notes
Allowing the dressing to sit enhances its flavor. Store salad and dressing separately to maintain freshness.
