Instructions

Whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
Grill chicken breast until cooked through (165°F), set aside, and slice.
Toss romaine, avocado, and bacon in a large bowl.
Top with chicken slices and crumbled blue cheese, if using.
Drizzle with dressing before serving.

Notes

Substitute crumbled feta or omit cheese for a vegan-friendly option.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days (keep dressing separate to avoid sogginess).
Toasting the bacon adds extra crunch—monitor closely to avoid burning.
