Shine from the Inside Out
Pro tip: Eat your water! Staying hydrated extends beyond just drinking fluids. Whole fruits and veggies can count toward your daily thirst-quenching quota, while offering an extra nutritional bonus of antioxidants and gut-friendly fiber.
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Set the chicken breasts on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the eggs

Bring a small sauce pot of water to a boil and fill a small bowl with ice water. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 10 to 12 minutes for hard-cooked. Transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool.
While the water heats and the eggs cook, prepare the chicken.

2

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Trim the root ends from the lettuce; cut the lettuce in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-wide strips.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Carefully peel the eggs. Coarsely chop the eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

Serve

Divide the lettuce between individual bowls and arrange the chicken, tomatoes, avocado, and eggs on top. Drizzle with as much Cobb dressing as you like. Garnish with the parsley and, if desired, pepper. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.
