Happy Monday, meal preppers! Can you believe it’s been over 2 months since I posted a new meal prep?! I’ve been prepping like normal, but honestly the stuff I’ve been making has been so much of my go-to stuff that you could easily just pull something from the archives and it would be about the same (*insert shrug here*).

Harvest Cobb Salad with Honey Dijon Ranch Dressing

Prep: 20 minutes mins
Cook: 10 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, raw
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped, (400 grams)
  • 4 slices HEB Natural Hardwood Smoked Uncured Turkey Bacon, (112 grams)
  • 4 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
  • 1 large Macintosh apple, chopped, (200 grams)
  • 1/2 cup 50% less sugar Ocean Spray dried cranberries, (80 grams)
  • 1/3 cup pecan halves, (10 grams)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • Optional: goat cheese

Honey Dijon Ranch Dressing

  • 1/3 cup Hidden Valley Fat Free Ranch Dressing, (2.66 oz)
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard, (30 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey, (21 grams)

Instructions

  • Whisk dressing ingredients together until well blended. Set aside in refrigerator.
  • Prepare bacon according to package directions, then allow to cool and chop.
  • Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken on both sides with lemon pepper seasoning. Add to hot skillet and cover, cooking about 4-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until cooked through. Set aside to rest.
  • As chicken cools, assemble salads. Add a base layer of lettuce, then top with chopped eggs, bacon, apple, dried cranberries, and pecans.
  • Chop chicken after it has rested at least 5 minutes. Add on top of salad, then top with honey dijon ranch dressing before serving. Add goat cheese on top, if desired.

Tips & Tricks

The most reliable way to get perfect, hard boiled eggs every time is using the Instant Pot!  I cook them on low pressure for 8 minutes (for a fully cooked through yolk), followed by a manual release and a dunk in an ice bath.  Peel them before they’re fully cooled for the easiest peel.
