HOW TO PREPARE
Put all of the dressing ingredients into a blender and mix everything nicely. Set aside.
Use a greased baking dish to bake the chicken breasts. Preheat the oven to 350F. Season with pepper and salt before baking and pour olive oil or melted butter over the top of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes and make sure it's fully cooked. Once the chicken is done, slice it into smaller pieces. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp.
The last step is to prepare the plate. Place lettuce on the bottom and put the sliced chicken and bacon over the top. Then, add the dressing as the last top layer and cover well with grated parmesan cheese.
