Ingredients

Seasoned Chicken

1 medium chicken breast cooked
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon chipotle powder

Chipotle Ranch Dressing

2 tablespoon ranch dressing
2 teaspoon sour cream
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce (optional)

Salad

6 slices thick cut bacon cooked and crumbled
1 head romaine lettuce
1 avocado
3 hard boiled eggs sliced in half
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
2 oz blue cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Watch the instructional video to see how I cooked the chicken and assembled the salad.

Seasoned Chicken

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, paprika and chipotle powder on both side. Heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium frying pan on medium/high heat. Saute chicken for 5 minutes and then flip, cover and saute for another 5 minutes until golden and fully cooked through. Set aside

Chipotle Ranch Dressing

Combine all ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.

Salad

Cut, wash and dry the romaine lettuce and lay out evenly onto a large dish or platter.
Assemble salad by laying the ingredients in rows. Start with the chicken and then assemble the remaining ingredients. Alternatively you can throw everything in a bowl and mix if you don't want to take those insta pictures first.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and pour the chipotle ranch dressing over top of the salad and enjoy. You might have extra dressing remaining that you can use as a dip for veggies or my low carb chicken nuggets.

All nutritional information is based on third-party calculations and should be considered estimates. Actual nutritional content will vary with brands used, measuring methods, portion sizes and more.

Don't overcook the chicken as it will turn out very dry. Cooking it with a lid on it after flipping helps to keep in the moisture and should be juicy and tender.

Cook the chicken and bacon first and make the chipotle ranch dressing. Prepare and slice all the ingredients, crumble the blue cheese..etc. Then assemble the salad when all ingredients are ready, it will make it much easier.
