Description
A delicious and healthy Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad packed with flavors and nutrients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as romaine, spinach, and arugula)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 4 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the chicken breasts with the mixture.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and red onion.
- Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving for a chilled salad.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute the blue cheese with feta cheese or omit cheese altogether.
- Add hard-boiled eggs for extra protein and a classic Cobb salad touch.
