Skinny Chicken Caesar Salad

A lovely dinner salad adapted from http://cafedelites.com/2015/03/10/skinny-chicken-and-avocado-caesar-salad/

Salad:
2 whole chicken breasts
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
Pinch of salt
7oz bacon, cut into strips
head of romaine washed and cut
1 Avocado, sliced
½ cup shaved parmesan cheese

Dressing:
⅔ cup greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
Juice of ½ a lemon
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

Ingredient:
3 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup applesauce
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 by 8 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk oats, spices, and salt together. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar, pumpkin, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour over oats and stir well, until all of the oats are moist. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Evenly press oat mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. The pumpkin keeps the bars moist, so make sure they are golden and set-you don't want them to be under baked. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut into bars. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
6. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
