A heartwarming blend of crispy bacon, tender chicken, and fresh veggies, this BLT Chicken Salad is a delightful twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for any summer gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Crisp the bacon: Place the bacon strips in a pan over medium heat and fry until they reach a crunchy consistency. Transfer them to a lined plate to drain and cool before breaking them into small bits.
  2. Prepare the poultry: If starting with raw meat, apply salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in the remaining bacon fat until it is thoroughly cooked and has a golden exterior, roughly 6-8 minutes per side. Let it rest briefly before cutting into bite-sized cubes.
  3. Whisk the sauce: In a small bowl, blend the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, and seasonings until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Place the chopped romaine, tomato halves, cubed chicken, and bacon crumbles into a large serving bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top and toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Portion the salad into bowls and eat immediately for the best texture.

Notes

For added richness, feel free to include sliced avocado or a sprinkle of cheese. Store the dressing separately if meal prepping to keep the veggies crisp.
