Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce (1/4 head) (note 1)
  • 2 oz grape tomatoes (approx. 6 grape tomatoes)
  • 1.5 oz cheddar cheese
  • 3 oz cucumber
  • 2 oz chicken (note 2)
  • 1 oz bacon bits (2 tbsp)
  • 1 egg (hard-boiled)
  • 2 tbsp G&K Ranch Dressing

Instructions
 

  • If you don’t have the chicken, egg and bacon bits ready you will have to start with those. Dice the bacon and fry in a small pan until it reaches your desired crispness. Bring water to a boil and gently lower the edd into the pot.

  • TIP: You can turn this into a yummy chopped salad by mixing all the ingredients with the dressing. It makes a great appetizer!

Notes

Note 1: You can use any greens you like. You can use anywhere from 1 to 2 cups depending on your taste. I like lots of lettuce so use 2 cups.
Note 2: You can use rotisserie chicken here or simply bake chicken breasts or thighs using this recipe: Perfect Bakes Chicken Breast
