Welcome to my blog. This is a virtual recipe box...I'm using it to keep track of all the recipes I've made and that we enjoy as a family. My first step is to load several recipes in that I've been making for the past few years...then, as I try new ones, I'll add them as well. I'll try to add pictures for each one as I make them.

Cobb Salad

Make this classic salad even easier: Use half of a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of roasting chicken breasts at home.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 10 ounces total)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 hard-cooked large eggs
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce (from 1 large head)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 plum tomatoes, roughly chopped
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced medium

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle. Remove skin and discard. With your hands or two forks, shred chicken. Reserve half (1 cup) for tomorrow's lunch.

Quarter 2 eggs and reserve 2 eggs for tomorrow's lunch. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine, and top with eggs, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and remaining chicken.
