Separate the leaves of the cos lettuce, discard outer leaves and wash well. Drain and dry. Cut leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Place the anchovy in base of the salad bowl and mash with the back of a fork while the oil is being added. Gradually add the lemon juice while beating, and sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
Add the cos lettuce leaves; toss to coat lightly with dressing while sprinkling over the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss in the chicken and croutons. Top with poached egg. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
