1

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

2

Smash 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the boiling water for flavor.

3

Add boneless skinless chicken breast chunks into the boiling water.

4

Remove the pot from heat and let the chicken sit in the water for about 8 minutes to steam and stay moist.

5

Prepare the Green Goddess dressing by adding a garlic clove to a food processor and blending it.

6

Add basil, parsley, non-fat Greek yogurt, canola mayo, lemon juice, and half a teaspoon of salt to the food processor while it runs.

7

Scoop down the ingredients to the base of the food processor to ensure everything is mixed well.

8

Cut the avocado last to keep it bright green; slice around the pit and open it up.

Prepare the salad by layering baby Roma lettuce on a platter.

10

Create stripes of vibrant colors with the ingredients: add tomatoes, chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado, and blue cheese in sections on the platter.
