Instructions
Creating this Paleo Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove and let them rest.
4. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, and red onion.
5. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips.
6. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the salad mixture on plates, placing the sliced chicken on top. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon for additional flavor if using.
7. Garnish and Serve: Add fresh herbs for garnish and drizzle with your favorite paleo-friendly dressing if desired.
