This Cobb Salad might be one of my favorite spring and summer recipes! It has the light and refreshing flavors of salad, but with protein packed toppings that are sure to keep you full and satisfied. Great for anyone who is dairy-free or on Whole30!
12CupsMixed GreensAny lettuce will work with this recipe!
1PoundThinly Sliced Chicken Breast
6Ounces Bacon
3CupsRed Peppers
5Hard Boiled Eggs
Instructions
Start by cooking the bacon in a frying pan on medium/high heat. Cook until crispy. Set on a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the oil.
Next, use a paper towel to soak up some of the oil from the frying pan. Save enough to cook the chicken breast! (This will add flavor.) Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
Then, chop the hard boiled eggs and red peppers into small pieces.
Finally, add lettuce to a large serving bowl and top with chopped chicken, bacon, red peppers, and hard boiled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir around with your favorite dressing!

Expert Tips

How to store leftovers
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container - I like using glass containers! You can also cover the serving bowl with plastic or reusable wrap.Store in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you don't use all of the chicken, hard boiled eggs, or bacon in the salad, you can store leftovers in a separate container in the refrigerator.See full post for more helpful tips and information!
