Chicken Avocado Club Mason Jar Salad
Ingredients
Seared Chicken
680g boneless skinless chicken breast
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
garlic powder, sea salt and pepper
Salad
½ cup red onion, chopped
1 cup cucumber, sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
4 slices cooked short cut bacon
½ cup crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese
8 cups chopped romaine
1 avocado, chopped
Honey mustard dressing or any of your fav low calorie option dressing
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breast with garlic powder, salt and pepper. To cook the chicken, you can either grill it on an indoor or outdoor grill or sear it on the stovetop. To sear: add 1-2 teaspoons olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Place chicken breast in hot oil. Cook chicken about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove from pan and let sit for 5 minutes to cool before slicing for the salad. This step can be done in advance, and you can cook multiple chicken breasts together if you’re meal prepping.
For the mason jars: Line up 4 32 ounce mason jars. Add 3 Tablespoons of dressing to each jar, then start layering ingredients in this order: red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, chicken, bacon, cheese, avocado and romaine. Avocado can be chopped and added the morning of if you’re worried about it browning.
When ready to enjoy, shake jar and pour into a serving bowl.
Notes
For a meal prep container: Line bottom of container with romaine and layer all ingredients in columns/sections on top. I recommend putting your bacon and avocado in separate containers, that way your bacon stays crisp and your avocado doesn’t brown. Store dressing in a separate container too.
