Chicken Cobb Salad

241shares
Jump to Recipe -

I love a main course salad and a Chicken Cobb Salad is one of my all time favorites! As we’re moving into longer sunny days, I begin to crave BIG salads. A Chicken Cobb Salad is packed with everything that makes a salad right!Chicken Cobb SaladI love that Wikipedia has a Cobb Salad definition: “The Cobb salad is a main-dish American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens, tomato, crisp bacon, boiled, grilled or roasted chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, Roquefort cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette.”  With just a few changes, mine is almost dictionary perfect!

Just look at all the delicious ingredients:Chicken Cobb SaladRipe cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, creamy avocado, tender rotisserie chicken, salty crispy bacon, cucumbers, and shredded carrots.

Chicken Cobb SaladPlate it up, then drizzle (or pour on) ranch dressing and lots of crumbled blue cheese!!! Often a blue cheese dressing is used, but I’ve found, that there are a lot of folks who don’t care for blue cheese, so I’ve started serving my Chicken Cobb Salad with a creamy ranch dressing and serving the blue cheese on the side. Everyone is always happy and loves this salad!

Chicken Cobb SaladAnd now, hiding head in shame, I have to tell you that I didn’t get any pics of this plated. I guess my husband and I were just too hungry, because before I knew it, we’d devoured just about all of this!

I don’t think you’ll have any problem though….. just imagine… we served in shallow bowls (pretty good sized because after all, this was our main course) and piled on some of the lettuce (it’s under all the delicious topping on the platter, you just can’t see it because for me, it’s about all the toppings). After we served the lettuce, we each loaded on our favorite toppings! A little of this and a whole lot of that, all topped with a drizzle (or in my husbands case a lot of dressing) and plenty of blue cheese crumbles. Another round of fresh cracked pepper and we sat down and enjoyed this very delicious and filling Chicken Cobb Salad.

If you prefer, you can serve it all in a large salad bowl, toss with with the ranch dressing and call it done. I just like serving a layered salad where it’s easy to pick and choose what you like/dislike.

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

A little bit salty and a whole lot of sweet, these Potato Chip Cookies are melt in your mouth delicious! And did you know that calories don’t count in December? J/k, but don’t you wish you could indulge on all the goodies guilt free? These are definitely worth the extra calories at least once a year! Find the recipe link in my profile.

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!

Don’t you just love a Cake Pop? It’s the perfect fun treat for the little ones and since it’s just a bite or two, it’s a guilt free treat for adults. I love baking with the grandkids, and can’t wait to make these again this year! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Did you know it’s National Cookie Day? Or maybe it’s National Cookie Week. Either way, it’s always a good day to make a batch of these Gooey Christmas Sprinkle Cookies! They’re the easiest cookies to make and everyone loves them! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Hi friends! 
Here’s a big question for you? Do you serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner? 
❤️🥗🦃🥗❤️
I did not grow up with green salads at Thanksgiving, but years ago I added this Blackberry Spinach Salad to my menu and now I can’t imagine the holidays without it! Besides being delicious, it’s is so festive!!! The recipe link is in my profile.

It’s also Saturday, which means it’s time to see what my friends are sharing!

I rarely share my home, unless it’s a dining room tablescape or something I’ve cooked, but this morning when I walked into the kitchen, I was immediately filled with joy!! The house is clean (mostly) and the Christmas decorating is nearly done. With all the heaviness going on with tighter Covid restrictions, I am choosing to have a great day!! 🎄❤️🎄 I’m heading out to do a few quick errands, then plan to crank up the Christmas music, make my afternoon coffee, and sit and enjoy! ❤️🎄❤️ What are your plans today?

I’ve ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey and now it’s time to start the grocery list making for the rest of our dinner. Our Thanksgiving dinner is very traditional! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, jello salad, veggies (creamed spinach or roasted brussel sprouts), green salad, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, and THESE DELICIOUS CANDIED SWEET POTATOES! I can’t make enough of these for my family, they literally “gobble” them up! Recipe link is in my profile!

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that we bbq all summer long, but once it’s Fall and weather changes, all I want is soup! It’s certainly a good thing that my husband enjoys it as much as I do! I have my grandmas old soup pot, and although I occasionally use my crock pot (or Instant Pot), I much prefer to simmer my soup on the stovetop using Grandma’s old soup pot! 
🍂🤎🍂🤎🍂
This delicious Hamburger Soup is the perfect recipe to share for #recipeswapsaturday. You can find the recipe link in my profile.
