- 4 slices bacon
- 4 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into strips.
Step 4
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Wash the romaine lettuce and pat it dry. Chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
Step 6
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avocado, then add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 7
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Step 8
Top the salad with the sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, and the prepared dressing. Gently toss to coat.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and healthy BLT Chicken Salad!
