Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 230g each
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, eyeball it
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 8 sliced bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 hearts romaine lettuce
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and scooped from skins with a spoon, then diced
- 2 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 cups white cheddar or Monterey Jack, shredded (or blue cheese crumbled)
Instructions:
- Preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Cover chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons of oil, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remember to wash your hands. Cook chicken on the grill or in the skillet for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Once done, remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Take a small pot and add eggs, covering them with cold water. Place the pot on high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once it starts boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Set a timer for 10 minutes. After the timer goes off, cool the eggs under cold running water. Peel and dice them.
- Cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat and then drain on paper towels.
- Dice 3 hearts of romaine lettuce and place them in a large serving platter or salad bowl. Add lemon juice to the chopped lettuce. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the lettuce. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Mix diced avocados with the remaining 1/2 lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Slice chicken breasts in half and chop the meat.
- For serving, layer chopped chicken, diced hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon bits, diced avocados, diced tomatoes, chopped red onions, and shredded cheese on top of 4 individual portions of prepared romaine or on a large serving platter.
