Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup Grape tomatoes
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.33 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer them to the lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 5

Rinse the grape tomatoes and slice them in half. Wash and tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, if not already prepped.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chives, salt, and black pepper to make the creamy dressing.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped bacon, halved grape tomatoes, and romaine lettuce. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a standalone dish or with crusty bread for a heartier meal.
