Simple Chicken Caesar Salad

This clever chicken Caesar gets to all the crunch and flavour of the classic, just with a few weeknight abbreviations. We've swapped croutons for a toasted herby crumb and boosted the dressing by switching traditional anchovies for fish sauce. The wash-up is a fast and furiously delicious rendition you'll make on repeat.
