Three Michelin stars and countless titles, such as Chef of the Century from the Culinary Institute of America in New York in 2011, he is referred to as the father of French gastronomy.

Cut the already boiled chicken breast into very thin slices.
Arrange the seasoned lettuce leaves on a large serving platter.Distribute the chicken slices over them.
Cut the hard-boiled eggs into wedges.
Spread some mayonnaise on the chicken, then add the anchovy fillets, olives, and egg wedges.
