Scale
Bacon:
- 8 slices bacon
Chicken:
- 8–10 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Salad:
- 4–6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1–2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 avocados
Instructions
- Bake the Bacon: Heat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then place the bacon strips side by side. Bake the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it’s reached your desired level of crispiness. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra oil. Roughly chop into small pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: Season and grill the chicken thighs for 6 to 8 minutes on each side with the grill covered. Let rest for a couple of minutes before dicing.
- Assemble the Salad: Toss the romaine lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, corn, bacon, and diced chicken breasts together.
- Add Avocado: Top with sliced avocado.
- Serve: Serve with dressing on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
- To make the homemade honey mustard dressing, mix equal parts mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard.
