Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- In a stick blender jug add the eggs, flour, milk & salt. Blend until smooth and aerated. This can also be done in a stand up blender.
- Leave the mixture to stand whilst the oven comes up to temperature. The closer the mix is to room temp, the better rise you'll get in the finished product.
- Cook the bacon in an oven safe pan on low to render out the fat. Once cooked transfer to a plate or tray.
- Pat the chicken dry and season all over. Fry the chicken skin side down in the bacon fat until it's nicely browned.
- Put the pan with the chicken skin side up in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Probe the chicken to check it's 67°C or above. Leave to rest and it will get to over 70°C.
- Grate the parmesan, chop the herbs fine and mince the garlic. Transfer to a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to this mixture.
- When ready, remove the pan from the oven and add the butter. Let it bubble and melt completely, then pour the batter mix into the pan.
- Slice the chicken and add skin side up to the centre of the pan.
- Scatter the cheese and herb mix over the top and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time.
- Mince the anchovies, garlic and pinch of salt into a paste. Move to a bowl.
- Add the egg yolks to a bowl along with the Dijon mustard, lemon juice and remaining salt.
- Whisk all ingredients.
- Whilst continuing to whisk, add the olive oil to make a mayo.
- To serve, remove the Dutch baby from the oven, slice the chicken and add to the centre. Return to the oven to warm up for 3 minutes.
- Dress the leaves in some of the dressing.
- Remove the Dutch Baby from the oven.
- Arrange the leaves around the outside of the chicken.
- Slice the bacon and top the chicken and lettuce.
- Drizzle more dressing on the chicken.
- Grind black pepper and grate more parmesan on top.
