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
- 3–4 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
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and avocado oil in a bowl or blend using an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate.
- Season the chicken with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the grill or grill pan with avocado oil to medium heat, then grill chicken for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let them rest before slicing.
- In a large serving bowl, layer chopped greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, cucumber, avocado, chopped bacon, and sliced hard boiled eggs.
- Add the sliced grilled chicken on top, drizzle with dressing, and toss or serve dressing on the side.
Notes
For a creamier dressing, blend longer using an immersion blender.
Make sure to accurately check the chicken’s internal temperature to ensure it is cooked safely.
