Chicken Bacon Chopped Salad

Salads are a main staple in our house in the summer.  All the beautiful produce is in season, and there's so many options when it comes to creating a fresh salad.   We love how light a main dish salad is for dinner after a long day in the heat.

This particular salad combination was born out of our original salad recipe and some leftover bacon in the fridge.  The avocado provides a rich, yet tasty, treat while the beautiful tomatoes give a pop of color and flavor.  Enjoy!

Chicken Bacon Chopped Salad

4-5 chicken breasts (I pick 1med breast/person)
Salt and pepper
Salad mix
8-10 strips bacon
2 avocado
2 tomatoes
Feta
Green onions (optional)
Dressing of choice

1. Diced chicken and cook on the stove top, seasoning as desired.  I typically use salt and pepper, but is also good seasoned with Italian mix or basil.

2. While chicken is cooking, cook bacon strips and chop when fully cooked and cooled.

3. Chop avocado, tomatoes, green onion, and feta.  Layer all (with chicken and bacon) on a bed of salad mix and dress with your choice of salad dressing.  Serve immediately!

Enjoy!
