Ingredients

  • 4 ounces maple-cured bacon
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup thick teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
  • 1 head red leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 avocados, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Method

  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool.
  • Cook and stir chicken and teriyaki sauce in the same skillet until chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk blue cheese dressing with milk in a large bowl to a consistency that will toss well with the salad. Add bacon, teriyaki chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados. Toss thoroughly until salad is evenly mixed.
