1 small clove garlic

1. Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

2. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, tossing halfway through, about 20 minutes.

4. Pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with a heavy skillet until 1/2 inch thick. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; add the chicken and season with salt.

5. Brush evenly with 1 tablespoon of the dressing and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons parmesan.

6. Broil, undisturbed, until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.Toss the lettuce, croutons and the remaining dressing and 3/4 cup parmesan in a large bowl.

7. Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the salad among bowls, top with the chicken and season with pepper.
