Description

This Healthy Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad with Honey Dijon Dressing is bursting with flavors from tender grilled chicken, crisp veggies, and creamy avocado. Perfect for a quick and nutritious meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Tbsp raw honey (melted (if solid))
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 34 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for the grill or pan)
  • 8 cups chopped romaine (kale, or other greens, or a mix)
  • 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 med cucumber (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 large avocado (thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices bacon (cooked until crisp, and chopped or crumbled*)
  • 6 hard boiled eggs (sliced**)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), and avocado oil in a bowl. Alternatively, blend all the ingredients using an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat and brush with oil.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest before slicing.
  4. In a large serving bowl, create a base with the salad greens. Top with chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, cucumber, avocado, cooked bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken and layer it over the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the top, toss gently, or serve it on the side.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in dressing before grilling.
This salad is versatile; substitute your favorite greens or veggies based on your preference.
Feel free to use turkey bacon as a lighter option.
