Ingredients

Chicken Marinade/Dressing
5 tablespoon dijon mustard
3-4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salad

3 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise keeping the root intact
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 hard boiled eggs, quartered
1 avocado, pit removed and halved
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

In a glass measuring cup whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade/dressing. Place the chicken in a freezer bag along with 1/4 cup of the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Massage the marinade into the chicken then let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
Preheat your grill to 425° F. or medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates and then add on the chicken. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it.
While the chicken is grilling, drizzle the romaine and cut side of the avocado with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them cut side down on the grill. Grill the romaine for 3 minutes and then flip it over with tongs and grill another 2 minutes. Grill the avocado for 4-6 minutes. Remove the romaine and avocado from the grill. When cool enough, peel and slice the avocado.
To assemble the salad, arrange the romaine hearts on a serving platter. Top them with the sliced chicken, avocado, bacon, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, and blue cheese. Sprinkle the salad with salt and pepper and serve with the honey dijon dressing on the side.
