How to Assemble Your Cobb Salads
Easy Cobb Salad Meal Prep
Making these cobb salads really could not be easier. All you have to cook is the chicken and bacon, chop your veggies, and then assemble.

Step 1: Cook the bacon and chicken. To make the bacon, slice it into small strips and cook until crisp. Then, when the bacon is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and let it drain on paper towels.

You can then use the same pan to cook your chicken breast. Start by seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Then cook the chicken breast in avocado or coconut oil for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. The length of time will depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan to cool and thinly slice into pieces.

Step 2: While the chicken and bacon cook, it is the perfect time to prep the rest of the veggies for the salad and make the hard boiled eggs. Chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and cucumber, and prep the avocado.

Step 3: Once all of the components of the salad are prepared, all you have to do is assemble each individual salad in a meal prep container.

Start with a base of lettuce and mixed greens, then add the veggies, hard boiled eggs, bacon and chicken. Just like that, you’re done with meal prep and have a salad you can easily grab for lunch each day!
