Ingredients
  

Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts butterflied if they're very thick
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

Dressing:

  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tsp honey or sugar-free maple syrup if low-carb/keto
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp pepper

Salad:

  • 6 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup bleu cheese crumbled
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs sliced
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • ½ red onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken in garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning and set aside.
  • Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Set aside on a plate and allow to cool. Once cooled, slice the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar and set aside.
  • Assemble the salads equally with the cooked chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, bleu cheese, eggs, bacon, avocado and red onion. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley. Serve!

Notes

The dressing is a really simple red wine vinaigrette that pairs perfectly with the strong flavors of onion, chives, bacon, and bleu cheese! This salad is also great with ranch dressing!
