Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for about 12 minutes, then cool in ice water and peel.

  4. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes and avocados, and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl or platter, layer the romaine lettuce, followed by the sliced grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, chopped avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top and drizzle with avocado dressing.

  3. 7

    Serve
