Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and prep the top rack of your oven so it's 8" from the bottom of your heating element. Preheat the oven broiler to 400 F.
  • Place chicken thighs on baking sheet, and broil on each side for 7 minutes, until the internal temp of your chicken reaches 165 F.
  • Meanwhile whisk together the honey, dijon, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside half of this to use as the dressing later. Use a brush to brush the other half over 1 side of your chicken thighs. Return to the oven and continue to broil for about 1 minute. Flip, brush the other side, and broil for an additional about 1 minute. Once cool enough to handle, slice into thin strips.
  • To the set aside dressing, whisk in apple cider vinegar.
  • Add the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, crumbled cheese, onions, and chicken to a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. If raw red onion is too strong in flavor: place sliced red onion in a medium bowl of water with ice and allow it to chill for 15 minutes. Drain, then add to the salad.
