Instructions
To Make the Chicken:
Slice each chicken breasts in half so your two chicken breasts become four thin fillets.
Coat in olive oil and cover with the seasoning of your choice.
Heat a cast iron (or pan of your choice) on medium heat with additional olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the cast iron in a single layer.
Sear the breasts for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, turning once between cooking, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Allow the chicken breasts to rest for 5 minutes before chopping.
To Make The Bacon:
Heat oven to 400F.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then place the bacon strips side by side.
Bake the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it’s reached your desired level of crispiness. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra oil.
Roughly chop into small pieces.
To Assemble:
Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, red onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, egg, goat cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chicken.
