Chicken Caesar Crostini

I cook way too much chicken.. I really need to branch out a bit when it comes to proteins — although I’m a seafood lover too (obviously). These crostinis came to mind because I had some chicken I needed to use in the fridge, but I kinda wanted to dress it up a bit. Caesar dressing is such an easy dressing to make when you can just throw everything in the food processor. There’s nothing better than some homemade Caesar dressing ~ don’t forget the anchovies!

The combo of the warm chicken and crostini with the tart Caesar dressing is a match made in heaven. I brushed the bread before broiling with a specialty olive oil — but really any olive oil will work (or even melted butter).
Butterfly the chicken breast and season it generously with some salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence — which apparently I’ve been mispronouncing my whole ‘culinary’ life (which I guess hasn’t been that long). Anyways, I used a grill pan to grill up the chicken until brown and cooked through. You can bake it or cook it on a stove top or whatever.. the point is just to get it cooked! Once finished, slice diagonally into thin bite-sized pieces that will fit on top of your crostinis. Cover with foil to keep warm. Resist from taking a bite until everything’s complete! 
Once the chicken is cooked, add a little bit of oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced prosciutto and cook until it gets all crisp, then remove to a paper towel. Assemble crostinis by layering crisp bread, sliced roasted red peppers, chicken, Caesar dressing, prosciutto, shaved Parmesan, and alfalfa sprouts or other green herbs or microgreens — gotta make it all pretty, right?! This is a perfect little fancy appetizer if you want to impress your guests, and I love the bright colors and combo of flavors!
