Ingredients
1 full chicken breast (cut into 4 cutlets)
2 eggs, hard-boiled
6 slices turkey bacon
1 large head Boston lettuce (may need more depending on portion desired)
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ small red onion, sliced thin
4 oz blue cheese crumbles
sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Directions
1Prepare the Green Goddess Dressing first and place in the refrigerator until the salad is assembled. Next, prep the grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs and bacon. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken cutlets. Grill the chicken. Remove to a plate and slice when cooled slightly. Hard-boil the eggs. Cook the turkey bacon according to package directions. (I find the quickest and easiest method for clean-up is to cook turkey bacon on a small baking sheet with parchment paper and cook in a toaster oven or regular oven). Crumble the bacon into pieces once cooled slightly. Peel and cut the eggs into quarters.
2Assemble the salad by layering the greens, red onions, tomatoes, blue cheese, and bacon. Spoon the Goddess Dressing over the salad, until covered to your liking.
