1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp (2 mL) kosher salt
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh rosemary
12 slices baguette, ½-inch (1-cm) thick
3 romaine hearts, cut in half lengthwise through the core, trimmed of large leaves
1½ lbs (750 g) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

Dressing:
2 tbsp (25 mL) mayonnaise
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
¼ tsp (1 mL) hot sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups (500 mL) cherry tomatoes

Directions

1. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and rosemary. Brush on one side of each piece of bread. Brush on cut side of lettuce. Brush remaining on chicken breasts.

3. For dressing, combine mayonnaise with lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and olive oil in a food processor or blender.
4. Cut bread in half for croutons. Serve lettuce in large pieces or chop coarsely. Slice chicken on the diagonal.
