Method
Stuffing: In skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning once, until crisp. Drain and let cool on paper towel–lined plate. Crumble bacon and croutons into bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the Parmesan, oil, garlic and parsley.With knife held horizontally and starting at curved side, cut chicken in half almost but not all the way through; open like book. Spread one-quarter of the stuffing evenly over 1 side of each breast, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) border uncovered. Sprinkle flour over each bottom border; close breast, pressing edge to seal. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add 5 minutes to roasting time.) Place, skin side up, on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Caesar Vinaigrette: In small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper; set half aside. Brush remaining vinaigrette over chicken. Roast in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and chicken is no longer pink inside. Broil, watching carefully to avoid scorching, until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Divide lettuce among plates; drizzle with reserved vinaigrette. Top with chicken; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
