How to make a Chopped Chicken Cobb Sandwich
Prepare the ingredients
Start off with boiling the eggs by placing the eggs in a small pot with hot water. Cover eggs with a lid and bring the water to a boil. Once you have boiling water, shut the heat off and let it sit for 10 minutes. Drain the hot water from the pan and place the cooked eggs in a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water to let them cool off. If you would rather have soft-boiled eggs for this, reduce the cooking time to 6 minutes.
In a pan, cook bacon over medium heat in a pan until the bacon is crispy. Place the bacon on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients to make the balsamic vinaigrette dressing and mix.
Balsamic vinaigrette is my favorite dressing to use for a Cobb salad, but you can also use whatever dressing you prefer. Homemade ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing would also work great. I like to double the recipe on the dressing and store it in an airtight container like a mason jar to use throughout the week.
Next, trim the excess fat off of the chicken breast and slice them in half so you have thinner pieces of chicken. Pour olive oil on the chicken and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and some of your favorite BBQ rub.
Grill the chicken over direct heat flipping every 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken fully cool down by resting it on a plate in the refrigerator. You can skip this step by using some rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken you may have.
Chop the ingredients
Now it’s time to combine everything on a large cutting board. Lay down the romaine lettuce, chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, green onions, avocado, bleu cheese and croutons. Grab a large knife and begin evenly chopping all of the ingredients until they are bite size.
Add the dressing to all of the chopped ingredients and mix it up so that all of the pieces are coated in the dressing.
Scoop up the chopped ingredients with a knife or spatula and place them into the bread until packed full.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
