Ingredients - Croutons:
2 cups sourdough bread cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp melted salted butter
Pinch kosher salt
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp oregano
Ingredients - Salad:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp anchovy paste
4 cups kale, chopped and stems removed
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil and melted butter. Drizzle slowly over bread cubes, tossing to coat evenly.
