Roast Chicken Cobb Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until completely cooled. Peel the eggs and chop them.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then roughly chop.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the blue cheese and chives, reserving some of the chives for garnish, then season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs and parsley, reserving some bacon, egg and parsley for the salad platter garnish, and toss to coat completely. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• To serve as a salad: Lay the chicken salad on a bed of greens. Garnish with some of the egg, bacon, chives and parsley.
• To serve as a sandwich: Lay the chicken salad between slices of sourdough bread.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Coat chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons oil, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Wash hands. Grill or pan-fry chicken 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
• In a small pot, cover eggs with cold water. Place over high heat and bring water to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Set a timer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, cool eggs under cold running water. Peel and chop.
• Brown chopped bacon in a skillet over medium high heat. Drain bacon on paper towels.
• Chop 3 hearts of romaine lettuce and place in a large serving platter or salad bowl. Dress chopped lettuce with the juice of 1 1/2 lemons. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over lettuce. Season greens with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Toss diced avocados with juice of remaining 1/2 lemon, to retard browning.
• Halve chicken breasts and chop the meat.
• To serve, arrange rows of chopped chicken, chopped hard boiled egg, crisp bacon bits, diced avocado, diced tomato, chopped red onion and shredded cheese on top of either 4 individual portions of dressed romaine or 1 large serving platter.

Steps:

• Dressing: Whisk together French's Dijon Mustard, shallots, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until dressing is fully emulsified. Set aside.
• Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat up an oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until seared on the first side, 3-4 minutes, then flip the chicken. Cover with a lid to allow the chicken to cook through, 7-10 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from pan and let rest for 5-10 minutes, then cut into slices.
• Cut the hard-boiled eggs into quarters. Cut the bacon into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) pieces.
• Arrange the lettuce on a large platter. On top of the lettuce, place small piles of the chicken, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, and avocado.
• Enjoy!
