Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with two sheets of parchment paper.
  2. Add avocado oil to a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with the all-purpose seasoning. Grill the chicken on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes on each side.
  4. While the chicken cooks, place the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until crispy.
  5. Hard boil the eggs by placing them in 1 inch of water and bringing it to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for 7-8 minutes.
  6. Remove the egg shells and cut the eggs into small pieces.
  7. Once the chicken is done, set it aside. Sauté the corn in the same pan used for the chicken until just warm.
  8. Pat the cooked bacon dry and cut into small bits.
  9. Slice the avocado and cut the tomatoes into halves.
  10. Assemble your salads by topping each plate of lettuce with cooked chicken, eggs, bacon bits, avocado, tomatoes, corn, and feta crumbles.
  11. Whisk together the healthy ranch dressing ingredients. Drizzle the dressing over each salad.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
