Instructions

Prep the Lettuce:

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tip: To ensure your lettuce stays crisp, pat it dry with a clean paper towel after washing.

Cook the Chicken (if not pre-cooked):

Step 2

If you're using raw chicken breast, cook it in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Tip: While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to broil if you want to add a crispy element to the bacon (see step 4).

Assemble the Salad:

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded chicken, blue cheese, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled bacon.

Cook the Bacon (if not pre-cooked):

Step 4

If using uncooked bacon, place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. Drain on paper towels before adding to the salad. Tip: You can also cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.

Hard-boil the Egg (if not pre-cooked):

Step 5

Place an egg in a small saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove from heat and cover for 10-12 minutes. Tip: For a softer yolk, cook for 7-8 minutes. Plunge the egg into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Peel and slice the egg before adding it to the salad.

Dress the Salad (Optional):

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper for the dressing. Tip: If you prefer a thicker dressing, you can add a tablespoon of mayonnaise or sour cream.
