Author Notes: This recipe, given us to us by quick and healthy cooking expert Leanne Ely is part of her humorous article "Winning in Domestic Court." Leanne also writes a newspaper column called The Manic Housewife.
Ingredients: 3 to 4 ounces of chicken per person (use whatever you have on hand-leftovers are fine or you can grill some)
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
generous handful of croutons (make yourself with stale bread-recipe included)
2 cloves garlic (or more if you're manic!) pressed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/ 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 can (2 ounces) anchovy fillets, drain oil off
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese (I use Romano over Parmesan because it's stronger and you can use less)
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/ 3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: Make croutons by chopping up stale bread, brushing with olive oil and sprinkling with garlic powder. Toast in 350°F. oven till brown-probably no more than 10 minutes. Check them often, though!

Wash romaine and chop into bite-sized pieces. Normally, you only want to tear lettuce, but if you are going to be serving it quickly-chop away and save yourself some time.

In a bowl, combine oil, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste, garlic, lemon juice, anchovies and mustard. Or use your food processor (that's what I do).

In a large bowl, toss lettuce and dressing and half the cheese together, along with your tasty croutons. Serve on individual plates and top with chicken and remaining cheese.
