Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp for the chicken, 2 tbsp for the cast iron
- 2½ tbsp sriracha lime seasoning or simply season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
For everything else:
- 6 trips Bacon
- 4-6 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 Red Onions diced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cucumbers sliced
- 1-2 avocado diced
- goat cheese as much or as little as you'd like
- salad dressing if desired as much or as little as you'd like
Instructions
To Make the Chicken:
- Slice each chicken breasts in half so your two chicken breasts become four thin fillets.
- Coat in olive oil and cover with the seasoning of your choice.
- Heat a cast iron (or pan of your choice) on medium heat with additional olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the cast iron in a single layer.
- Sear the breasts for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, turning once between cooking, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Allow the chicken breasts to rest for 5 minutes before chopping.
To Make The Bacon:
- Heat oven to 400F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then place the bacon strips side by side.
- Bake the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it’s reached your desired level of crispiness. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra oil.
- Roughly chop into small pieces.
To Assemble:
- Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, red onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, goat cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chicken.
- Top with some salad dressing if desired.
