Chicken, Avocado, and Jammy Egg Salad
This Chicken, Avocado, and Jammy Egg Salad is the perfect mix of creamy, savory, and fresh. Tender chicken, buttery avocado, and rich jammy eggs come together with a vibrant Green Goddess dressing for a salad that's light, satisfying, and packed with flavor. One bite, and you'll be hooked!
Equipment
- Large Salad bowl
- Chef's Knife
- Cutting board
- Saucepan
- Slotted spoon
Ingredients
- 3 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1-2 cooked chicken breasts shredded or sliced (grilled or baked)
- 1 ripe avocado sliced or diced
- 3 soft boiled pasteurized eggs halved (jammy yolk, cooked for 6-7 minutes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds optional
Dressing
- ¼ cup Green Goddess dressing prepared
Instructions
- Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and place it in a large salad bowl.
- If the chicken isn't cooked yet, season it with salt and pepper, then grill or bake it until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Let it cool slightly before slicing or shredding.
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower the pasteurized eggs into the water and cook for 6-7 minutes. The yolk is thick and jammy but not fully runny. The whites should be fully set, which reduces bacterial risks.
- Remove the eggs and place them in an ice water bath for 5 minutes before peeling. Slice the eggs in half.
- Top the romaine lettuce with sliced chicken, avocado, and halved jammy eggs. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad.
- Lightly season the salad with salt and pepper. Drizzle Green Goddess dressing over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
