Preparation

• Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F).  
• On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the bacon slices, without overlapping them. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning slices halfway through, until crisp. Remove from oven and let cool. Pat bacon dry with paper towels and break into pieces. 
• Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. 
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breasts for 15 to 17 minutes, turning them several times during cooking, until the inside of the chicken has lost its pinkish tint. Set breasts aside on a plate and let cool before slicing. 
• In a salad bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients.  
• Add lettuce, tomatoes, chicken breasts, bacon and cucumber to salad bowl. Stir gently.  
• Just before serving, garnish salad with parmesan shavings and croutons.
