- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), then let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, arrange mixed lettuce, diced avocado, chopped eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese in a large bowl or platter.
- Top salad with sliced grilled chicken and bacon bits if desired.
- Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, season with salt and pepper, toss gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, season chicken in advance and let it rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Add avocado right before serving to maintain its freshness.
