Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Tbsp raw honey (melted if solid)
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 34 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for the grill or pan)
  • 8 cups chopped romaine (kale, or other greens, or a mix)
  • 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 med cucumber (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 large avocado (thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices bacon (cooked until crisp, and chopped or crumbled)
  • 6 hard boiled eggs (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), avocado oil, and sea salt in a bowl or using an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Refrigerate until needed.
  2. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken.
  3. Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with avocado oil.
  4. Grill the seasoned chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and allow to rest.
  5. In a large serving bowl, layer your chopped greens with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
  6. Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the salad. Drizzle with the dressing before serving, or serve it on the side.

Notes

For a thicker dressing, use an immersion blender.
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before removing from heat.
Feel free to substitute greens based on preference or seasonal availability.
