A protein-packed salad that's creamy, zesty and fresh.
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
4 eggs
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-in. slices
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp white vinegar
1 head romaine lettuce
1 avocado, sliced
fresh pepper, to season
BOIL a large pot of water. Add chicken and eggs. Boil eggs until medium soft, about 7 min, then remove with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water. Continue simmering chicken until it is cooked through, about 10 min. Transfer chicken to a plate. Using 2 forks, shred chicken.
HEAT a medium non-stick frying pan over medium. Add bacon, and cook until crisp, 4 to 5 min per side. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
WHISK mayonnaise with Dijon mustard and white vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
CHOP romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Divide among 4 plates. Top with sliced avocado, shredded chicken and bacon. Drizzle with mayo mixture. Season with fresh pepper. Peel eggs and slice in half. Arrange on top of salads.
