Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 hard-boiled eggs sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes halved
12 pieces pepperoncini whole
1 cucumber sliced
1 ripe avocado chunks
4 cups spring mix lettuce
Salt and pepper to taste
Your favorite dressing; we recommend our Lemon Vinaigrette

Instructions

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear them until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the hard-boiled eggs by placing them in a pot of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool before peeling and slicing.
Assemble the salad by arranging the spring mix lettuce in individual plates.
Top the lettuce with the sliced chicken, pepperoncini, sliced hard-boiled eggs, cucumber, grape tomatoes, and avocado chunks.
Drizzle our Lemon Vinaigrette desired dressing over the salad just before serving.
Garnish with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Notes

Tips

1. For added convenience, prepare the hard-boiled eggs and grilled chicken breast in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.

2. Customize your Chicken Cobb Salad by adding your favorite toppings such as crispy bacon, diced red onions, crumbled blue cheese, or toasted nuts.

3. To make a creamy dressing alternative, try substituting the vinaigrette with ranch dressing or a creamy avocado dressing for a richer flavor profile.

4. If you're short on time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of grilling your own chicken breast.

5. For a lighter option, you can omit the bacon or use turkey bacon as a healthier alternative.

6. To prevent the avocado slices from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad.

7. Feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients according to your taste preferences and dietary needs.

8. Leftover Chicken Cobb Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy it as a delicious and satisfying meal prep option for lunch or dinner.
