This is a substantial chicken cobb salad with a decent amount of protein. It could serve 4 people as a light lunch, but the macros are calculated for 2 hungry people! I love a big salad, so I could honestly eat this whole thing myself. So tasty!
Chef Tips:
- Many people add blue cheese to their Cobb salad, but any cheese will do, or you can leave it out altogether if you are lactose-intolerant. There is plenty going on in this colorful concoction, so a little cheese won’t be missed! I do usually add blue cheese to mine though!

Ingredients
- 3.5 oz smoked bacon lardons
- 2 large eggs
- 1.4 oz watercress
- 1.4 oz salad leaves of your choice
- 1 cooked chicken breast, skinless and deboned (we use Butcher Box meat)
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 3 TB olive oil
- 1 TB lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fry the bacon lardons in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until almost crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- At the same time, boil the eggs to your liking. Run cold water over them to help them cool quicker, then peel and halve them.
- Arrange the watercress and salad leaves in a wide, shallow-bottom salad bowl.
- Arrange the chicken, bacon, eggs, tomato, and avocado on top.
- Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard together in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour over the salad.
- Season the salad with more salt and freshly ground black pepper if you feel it needs it.
