Blackened Chicken Cobb Salad

Directions

Preparation

1. Dry chicken breasts with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together spices. Coat each chicken breast with spice mixture.
2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in hot oil. Cook about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and let sit for 5 minutes to cool before slicing for the salad. This step can be done a day in advance.
3. While the chicken cooks, make the dressing by whisking together all the ingredients in a small bowl or glass jar.
4. To assemble salad, divide the spinach or romaine among 4 plates. Arrange equal portions of blackened chicken, hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, bacon and feta on top of the greens.
5. Just before serving, top salad with 1–2 Tablespoons of the red wine vinaigrette dressing or your favorite dressing.
