Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 6 pieces Bacon slices
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing it into strips.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Crumble once cooled.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into quarters.
Dice the avocado just before assembling the salad to prevent it from browning.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large serving bowl or platter, arrange the romaine lettuce as the base.
In rows, arrange the chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese on top of the lettuce.
In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, hearty flavors of this classic Cobb salad.
