Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Grilled Chicken Breasts
- 4 Cups Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 2 Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ½ Cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ Cup Blue Cheese (optional), crumbled
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any desired spices. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Eggs: Place them in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring it to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and cover for about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Chop the Lettuce: Wash and chop your romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
- Dice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Dice it into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the Eggs: Peel the eggs and slice them into rounds. Place them on top of your salad.
- Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
- Assemble the Salad: On your bed of romaine, add the sliced grilled chicken, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, and crispy bacon. If using, sprinkle blue cheese on top.
- Drizzle with Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently or leave it arranged for a stunning display.
