This salad is delicious! –My Mom
Chick Fila's Chicken Cobb Salad is one of my favorite salads to buy from a restaurant chain alongside Olive Garden's Caesar salad. Growing up, my mother loved blue cheese dressing and to this day she still does; however, I just couldn't get past the taste. But as I grew into my own, became an adult and started making my own salad while working from home. I realized that it's really not so bad at all. Hence, it is the dressing that is most commonly associated with Cobb salads. So, here's how I make my quick and easy Chicken Cobb Salad.
Let's Get Started
Serves 1 | Prep Time: 20 minutes |
Cook Time: 20 minutes | Calories: 500-600 |
Ingredients:
½ head of Iceberg Lettuce
1lb chicken breast (I use thinly sliced)
2 strips of bacon
1 egg
¼ cup - bell pepper
¼ cup - purple onion
¼ cup - cucumber
1 Roma tomato
¼ cup - fresh broccoli florets
Directions:
Cook bacon: In a non-stick skillet or skillet of your choice, cut slices of bacon in half and fry on medium to low heat as you don't want them to cook too fast and/or burn.
Boil eggs: Place egg in a pot of water and let boil for 8-12 minutes until desired consistency.
Cook chicken: In a separate skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and add chicken if using thicker chicken breast, I recommend cutting in half horizontally. Ensure to generously season the chicken (before adding to skillet) with a teaspoon of each: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic & herbs, season salt and paprika. Cook until there is no pink. Note: I cook my chicken breast on medium heat as to ensure its not overcooked but tender, juicy.
Assemble Salad: Cut up lettuce, onions, bell pepper, cucumber and tomatoes into desired sizes. Place greens in a large bowl or plate. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onion, bacon, chicken and egg.
Drizzle salad with your desired dressing.
Enjoy!
