1

Mix Marinade: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Brisca Zest Fest, grated garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, and Brisca Herb 'n' Salt to taste until smooth.

Cook Chicken: Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Sear chicken until deeply golden, about 3–3½ minutes per side. Transfer pan to a 200°C oven (fan on) and roast 5–9 minutes until just cooked through. Rest briefly, then slice if needed.

Toast Croutons: Add remaining 1 tsp olive oil to the pan, toss bread pieces with Brisca Herb 'n' Salt to taste, and toast until golden and crisp, turning as needed. Set aside.

5

Sauce Moment: In a large serving bowl, whisk Brisca Zest Fest with grated Parmesan until creamy and emulsified. Add romaine lettuce and toss gently until every leaf is coated.

6

Finish: Top with warm chicken and toasted croutons. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the salad is crisp.

Notes

For a lighter variation, replace the croutons with toasted pine nuts for crunch and nutty flavor.
