Method

Preparation of Chicken

Cook the Chicken

If using crispy chicken, prepare the chicken breasts by breading them and frying until golden brown. If grilling, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.

Preparation of Eggs

Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Afterward, remove eggs and place in an ice bath to cool. Peel and chop the eggs.

Preparation of Vegetables

Chop Vegetables

Wash the salad mix thoroughly. Chop the tomato and onion into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Assembly

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the salad mix, chopped tomato, chopped onion, sliced chicken, and chopped eggs. Toss gently to mix.

Add Cheese and Dressing

Sprinkle the cheddar jack cheese over the salad and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to combine everything well.
