1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons anchovy paste 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 6 cups torn romaine lettuce leaves 4 plum tomatoes, quartered 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup purchased garlic croutons

PREPARATION:

1. Place chicken in large resealable food storage bag. Combine oil, lemon juice, anchovy paste, garlic, salt and pepper in small bowl.

5. Slice warm chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips; add chicken and croutons to lettuce mixture in bowl. Drizzle with 1/3 cup reserved marinade; toss to coat well.
