Make itInstructions

  1. Make the green goddess dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, Parmesan, basil, parsley, lemon juice, Champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a blender or food processor; blitz until completely smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until needed — it keeps well for up to 3 days.

  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook, turning once or twice, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F, about 8 minutes per side.

  4. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into strips.

  5. In a large bowl, toss the arugula, kale-lettuce mix, and romaine together, then add the crumbled bacon, avocado, grape tomatoes, and pickled red onions and gently toss to distribute everything evenly.

  6. Divide the salad between two serving bowls and arrange the sliced chicken and halved eggs on top — just like the classic panera green goddess cobb salad presentation.

  7. Drizzle generously with the chilled green goddess dressing and serve immediately.
