    Chicken Cobb Salad with juicy lemon garlic chicken, crispy bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, onion, lettuce and simple Dijon dressing. This whole-meal salad is perfect for lunch or dinner!

    This salad is perfect for a light summer dinner, just like my BLT Pasta Salad or the Doritos Taco Salad.

    When you need a light and easy dinner, salads always come to mind. Fresh veggies, simple dressing and grilled, baked or pan-seared meats make for a fantastic healthy meal. This Cobb Salad is the perfect example, just like my Greek Salmon Salad. You can use my lemon garlic chicken and cook it in a pan, or grill it; rotisseries chicken, seafood, ham or smoked meat is a great option too! This salad is colorful, nutritious and full of flavor. The Cobb Salad originated around 1937, in Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant and was named after the owner, Robert Howard Cobb.

    Ingredients

    • Romaine lettuce
    • meat (chicken, bacon, ham, turkey, etc.)
    • ripe tomatoes (on-the-vine, cherry or Roma)
    • hard-boiled eggs
    • bacon
    • cheese (bleu, feta, cheddar, etc.)
    • red onion
    • avocado
    • simple mustard dressing (you can use my Creamy Caesar dressing as well!)
    Close up shot of sliced lemon garlic chicken breast.

    Instructions:

    • Start by seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper and dried oregano. Heat up olive oil in a skillet, add butter and melt. Sear chicken on both sides for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and saute for 2 minutes. Remove chicken onto a plate and let rest. Cook bacon in the same skillet.
    • Chop lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, onions, avocadoes and arrange in a salad bowl.
    • Slice chicken and arrange on top of the salad. Add bacon. Serve.

    What is the difference between cobb salad and chef salad?

    Both salads are main-dish salads, as in they are made with lettuce, cheese and meats. Cobb salad has avocados and tomatoes.
