How To Make Cobb Salad

1. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until it’s no longer pink, then let it cool before cutting into small pieces.
2. While the chicken is cooling, dice your hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, and avocados. Crumble the blue cheese.
3. Tear your lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Remember, the smaller the better.
4. Combine all the ingredients in a large salad bowl. Drizzle your favorite dressing, and toss lightly to combine.
5. Voila! Your Cobb Salad is ready to serve. Enjoy!
