The most satisfying salad on 🌍✨ For the Salad:▪️1 Chicken Breast▪️4 Slices Bacon▪️2 Eggs▪️2 Hearts of Romaine, sliced in strips▪️1/2 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, sliced rounds▪️1 Avocado, diced▪️1/4 Cup Blue Cheese▪️2 Tbsp Fresh Chives, sliced▪️ For the Red Wine Vinaigrette:▪️1 Tbsp Shallot, minced▪️1 Clove Garlic, minced▪️1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard▪️2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar▪️1/4 Cup Olive Oil▪️1/4 tsp Salt▪️1/4 tsp Pepper▪️ 🌱Vegan Modification: Sub in chickpeas and extra veggies (carrots, cucumber, onion) for chicken, bacon, and egg; sub in plant based cheese (or nuts) for blue cheese 1️⃣ Whisk together the ingredients for the red wine vinaigrette and set aside; bring a pot of water to a boil for the eggs 2️⃣ Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy (2-4 mins per side) and then drain excess grease leaving 1 tsp behind in the pan (to cook the chicken); place bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain and then slice into small pieces 3️⃣ Pound chicken 1/2” thick (optional) and season both sides with salt and pepper; cook chicken in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat for 6-8 mins per side (until internal temp reaches 165F); let rest 5 mins then dice into bite sized cubes 4️⃣ Gently tap the more rounded end of the egg shells with the back of a spoon until you hear a high pitched snapping noise (this will make them easier to peel); carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon and boil at a gentle boil for 7+1/2 mins for a jammy yolk (you may see some little cracks in the eggs while they're boiling and some white may seep out, but don't worry because the eggs will remain unharmed); submerge in an ice bath for 5 mins then peel and slice each egg in half 5️⃣ Assemble the salads in two large bowls with romaine on the bottom and the chicken, bacon, tomatoes, egg, avocado, and blue cheese in piles on top 6️⃣ Sprinkle with chives, drizzle on the dressing, and enjoy! (you will likely have extra dressing so start by pouring 2 Tbsp on each salad and then add as needed) ⏲40 minute total prep + cook time Recipe makes 2 large entree sized salads
