Cup of Yum
Make the blackened chicken:
- On a flat surface, pat dry the chicken breasts. Distribute the seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt the butter. Place the chicken breasts on the pan and cook the first side for 7 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for another 7 minutes on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Cooking time on the second side will vary by the thickness of the chicken breast.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan onto a board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Build your dream salad:
- Assemble the salad in a large bowl by layering the chopped Romaine, topping it with the hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, avocado slices, sliced shallot, blue cheese crumbles, crumbled bacon, and sliced chicken breasts.
- Drizzle ½ cup salad dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Add more salad dressing if desired.
For Meal Prep:
- Layer all the salad ingredients inside 4 meal prep containers except for the sliced avocado. Pack about 2 tablespoons of salad dressing inside four small, lidded containers. The morning of, slice ¼ of an avocado and pack it inside the lunch container. Drizzle salad dressing right before your first bite.
