Ingredients
For the Salad
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- ½ pieces red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 pieces avocado (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices bacon (cooked til crispy and chopped)
- 4 pieces hard boiled eggs (thinly sliced)
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Dressing
- ½ cup dijon mustard
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Divide the dressing in half. Cover and chill half of the dressing.
- Transfer the remaining half of the dressing to a large resealable bag. Add the chicken to the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Cook the chicken on the stove over medium heat or on the grill for 5-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
Assembly
- Assemble the salads by placing lettuce on the bottom, then topping it with chicken, bacon, onions, eggs, and tomatoes.
- Use the reserved dressing to drizzle over the salad and finish with freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
Notes
Make sure to cook the chicken fully and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. Adjust the dressing's sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or mustard to your taste. Consider adding nuts for extra crunch.
