Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Wash the romaine lettuce and pat it dry. Chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avocado, then add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, and the prepared dressing. Gently toss to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and healthy BLT Chicken Salad!
