Ingredients
8slicesbacon
8-10boneless skinless chicken thighs
4-6cupschopped romaine lettuce
1-2cupgrape tomatoeshalved
1cupcorn
1smallred oniondiced
2avocados
Instructions
To bake 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 cook the chicken: season it as you wish and grill the chicken thighs for 6 to 8 minutes on one side with the grill covered. Flip and grill for another 6 to 8 minutes. Let rest for a couple of minutes before dicing. Cook time will vary a bit depending on the size of your chicken thighs so use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness. See my post on how to grill chicken thighs for more detailed instructions.
Toss the romaine lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, corn, bacon, and diced chicken breasts together.
Top with sliced avocado.
Serve with dressing on the side or drizzled on top.
