The Perfect Cobb Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag ready-washed romaine lettuce
  • 3 eggs hard-boiled
  • 2 chicken breasts marinated & grilled*
  • 2 ears corn on the cob
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • vinaigrette

Method
 

  1. Hard-boil your eggs ahead of time so they cool. I put my eggs in a pot of cold water. Turn the stove heat up to high and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Then shut off the heat and let sit in the hot water for 16 minutes. Remove eggs and put in a bowl in the fridge to cool. When ready, peel eggs and cut into quarters.
  2. Cut the chicken breast in half to make thinner breasts if thick. Then place in a ziplock bag with the marinade while you prep the ingredients.
    *MARINADE: 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp minced garlic or garlic paste, 1 tsp dried thyme. Mix well and then add in the chicken. Lit sit in the marinade while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
  3. Cook bacon in a hot skilled and break into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  4. Remove husks from corn and grill. Then cut corn off the cob and set aside.
  5. Grill chicken until cooked through. Let sit for a few minutes and then cut into thin slices on a diagonal.
  6. Empty the bag of pre-washed romaine lettuce into a large serving bowl. And layer the following in neat rows across the salad: grilled corn, grilled lemon chicken, blue cheese, bacon, and boiled eggs.
  7. Top with your favorite vinaigrette!
