Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and lay bacon on top.

Cover the bacon with another sheet of parchment and place another sheet tray on top.

Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 28 minutes until crispy.

Chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Boil a pot of water for the eggs.

Add about 1-2 teaspoons of oil to a sheet tray and mix in spices for the chicken.

Place the chicken on the sheet tray and add about a half cup of water.

Bake the chicken in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Add eggs to the boiling water using a spider or slotted spoon, cover, and steam for about 16 minutes.

Place the boiled eggs in cold water, peel, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Cut the top off the tomato and remove the seeds, then chop into pieces or use halved grape/cherry tomatoes.

Add corn to the salad, either leftover or roasted.

Assemble the salad by layering the spring mix, tomatoes, corn, boiled eggs, bacon, and chicken.

Top with shredded cheese and drizzle with ranch dressing.
