INGREDIENTS

skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 to 5 oz. each)
Olive oil

  4. Season the avocado, tomatoes and eggs with salt and pepper.
  5. To serve, mound equal amounts of the lettuce in the center of 4 servings plates. Arrange the chicken, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, eggs and the remaining blue cheese on top of the lettuce.
