Begin by preparing your ingredients: wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble into small pieces and set aside. Hard boil the eggs, peel and chop them.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Set aside to rest, and then slice into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, arrange the romaine lettuce as the base. Top with grilled chicken slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
Drizzle the honey mustard dressing evenly over the top of the salad.
Gently toss the salad so that the ingredients and dressing are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying salad experience.
