Equipment

  • Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Cups Mixed Greens Any lettuce will work with this recipe!
  • 1 Pound Thinly Sliced Chicken Breast
  • 6 Ounces Bacon
  • 3 Cups Red Peppers
  • 5 Hard 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!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • To keep the lettuce from getting soggy, add dressing to individual servings.
  • Make extra of everything so you can meal prep! (Chicken, bacon, eggs, etc.)
  • Use a vegetable chopper to prepare the peppers. (It will save so much time!) Check out this video to see it in action!
  • Since there's no cheese in this recipe, try adding cubed avocado for a similar creamy texture.
  • Don't forget to add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper while you're mixing the salad!
  • Cook the chicken in some of the leftover bacon fat to add flavor and save on cleaning an extra frying pan!

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.
