This simplified Cobb salad is light and quick—perfect for a hurried summer night.

4 servings, 3 1/2 cups each | Active Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
• 2 slices bacon
• 12 cups washed, dried and torn romaine lettuce
• 2/3 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, (recipe follows)
• 3 vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and diced

Preparation

1. Place chicken in a skillet or saucepan and add salted water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken and poaching liquid to a shallow dish. Cover and refrigerate, letting chicken cool in the liquid.
2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and coarsely crumble.
3. Cut cooled chicken into 1/2-inch dice.
4. Toss lettuce in a large bowl with 1/3 cup dressing. Divide among 4 plates. Arrange chicken, bacon and tomatoes over lettuce and drizzle with remaining 1/3 cup dressing. Serve immediately.
