After having a version of this chicken green goddess Cobb salad at Panera, I just had to make it at home, and fell so in love with this salad recipe that we’ve been eating this healthy and filling grilled chicken green goddess Cobb salad on repeat for the last few weeks!

The most delicious grilled chicken green goddess cobb salad

Does anyone else get a little annoyed at how Panera changes their menu so frequently?

It seems like just as I’m getting to like something, it gets changed or removed from the menu. There was this insanely delicious Mediterranean flatbread they had for only a short time that I’m sad is gone, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Easy and delicious homemade green goddess dressing

Before I started doing the Summer of Smoothies and Salads my biggest problem with salads I think was that they weren’t filling.

I’d have a salad, and then be hungry an hour later.

When I had the Panera green goddess Cobb, it was hours into the afternoon and as I looked at a clock I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t hungry at all!

So if you’re looking for a healthy and filling salad, this is one I’d highly recommend.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Panera actually shared the recipe for their green goddess salad dressing. I followed the recipe blindly, only afterwards to see that it yields 2 cups of dressing! That’s more than most dressing containers lol, so I’ve paired the recipe down for you below.

For the grilled chicken, I just marinated in a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt/pepper/oregano.

The bacon can be baked or cooked in the microwave or on the stove top – whichever method you prefer.

The eggs in this salad are hard boiled at 8 minutes, and they’re perfect!

Mix salad, bacon, avocado, grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs and top it with green goddess dressing, and you’ve got yourself one delicious healthy and filling green goddess Cobb salad!

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 salads

Ingredients

  • For the salad dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise I use low fat or fat free
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 ounce fresh basil leaves finely chopped (about a small handful)
  • 1 teaspoon shallot minced
  • 1 teaspoon basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • pinch of kosher salt & coarse black pepper
  • For the grilled chicken:
  • 4, 4-5 oz each chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 of a lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves pressed
  • pinch of salt & pepper
  • For the salad
  • 4 hard boiled eggs
  • 8 slices of cooked bacon
  • 8 cups spring mix greens
  • 1 avocado

Instructions

To make the salad dressing:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you want a chunkier dressing, you can whisk all ingredients by hand.

To make the grilled chicken:

  • Combine the chicken, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and seasoning in a sealable bag or container. Let marinate for 1/2 an hour up to 24 hours.
  • Grill on high until chicken is cooked through.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
  • To make the hard boiled eggs: bring a small pot of water to boil, when water is boiling, carefully lower eggs in. Cook for 8 minutes, then run under cold water. Peel eggs and cut into 4.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy. Let cool on a paper towel lined plate to soak up the grease. Cut or crumble into pieces.
  • To assemble the salad: divide lettuce into 4 (each salad gets 2 cups), top with 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced and 1 hard boiled egg (or 4 pieces if you've quartered the hard boiled eggs already). Then divide the avocado into 4 and top each salad with 1/4 of the avocado, and 1/4 of the bacon. Top each salad with a generous 2-3 tablespoons of salad dressing and enjoy

Notes

Salad dressing modified from Panera's recipe for Green Goddess Dressing

Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchov Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchovies? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to be 🤢 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I gotta know? Are you team anchovies ♥️ or 🤢?!?
