Scale
- 8 cups romaine lettuce washed and chopped
- 4 hard boiled eggs peeled and quartered
- 1 large avocado pitted and sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ small red onion sliced
- 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 6 to 7 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning or your favorite seasoning blend
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ tablespoon dried parsley or 1 ½ teaspoons fresh

- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- For the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Gradually add milk until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate.
- To hard boil the eggs, place them in a saucepan and cover with cold water 1-inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, then remove from heat. Let stand for 15-17 minutes. Cool in ice water for 5 minutes, then peel and quarter.
- To prepare the chicken, cut the breasts horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Toss the chicken with oil and seasoning. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3 minutes per side, until cooked to 165℉. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- For assembly: Place lettuce at the bottom of a large salad bowl. Add eggs, avocado, tomatoes, onion, blue cheese, bacon, and sliced chicken on top.
- Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
