Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
2. Cook bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
3. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand 12 minutes. Transfer to ice bath, then peel and chop.
4. Make the vinaigrette by whisking together red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup olive oil while whisking constantly until emulsified.
5. Arrange chopped romaine lettuce on a large platter or individual plates.
6. Top with rows of sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, diced avocado, halved tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese.
7. Sprinkle with diced red onion and fresh chives.
8. Drizzle with red wine vinaigrette just before serving or serve dressing on the side.

Notes

Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Assemble just before serving for best texture. Can substitute blue cheese with feta, goat cheese, or cheddar. For lighter version, reduce bacon and cheese quantities.
