Put the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and scatter over half the chicken and half the baked ciabatta croutons. Pour in half the Caesar dressing and toss well, so each lettuce leaf is coated. Divide the salad between 4 plates, scatter over the remaining chicken and ciabatta croutons then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Top with the parmesan shavings and freshly ground black pepper to serve.
