Chicken and Egg Salad

Chicken and Egg Salad


    Description

    A protein-packed salad with chicken, hard-boiled eggs, crisp vegetables, and a light dressing.


    Ingredients

    Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

    Eggs

    Romaine or mixed greens

    Cucumbers

    Tomatoes

    Red onions

    Dressing: a vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper) or a light mayo-based dressing


    Instructions

    Cook the chicken: grill on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or boil in water or chicken broth for 12-15 minutes, then shred. Avoid overcooking past 165°F internal temperature, and let it rest a few minutes before slicing or shredding.

    Boil the eggs: place in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes. Transfer immediately to ice water and let sit about 10 minutes before peeling.

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped eggs, and vegetables.

    Pour the dressing over the mixture, starting with a small amount, and toss gently to coat without mashing the eggs or breaking up the chicken too much.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning or dressing as needed.
