Instructions

  • Cook the chicken breast and set aside. Feel free to pan sear salmon or shrimp in place of the chicken.

  • Hard boil your egg(s) and set aside to cool. You can omit this ingredient if it takes too much time.

  • Chop your romaine and add to a large mixing bowl. Toss your dressing with the romaine. Feel free to use less dressing or add more greens if you wish.
