Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • 2 tablespoons cajun or lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese or cubed cheddar
  • 6 strips cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1 avocado chopped
  • 4 hard boiled eggs sliced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil and seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, turning halfway through cooking, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy, adding buttermilk or water to thin the dressing. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
  3. Thinly slice or chop the chicken.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the greens, basil, and cilantro with 1/2 the dressing. Arrange the chicken, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, avocado, and eggs on top. Gently give the salad a toss with additional dressing. Enjoy!
