Freshly ground black pepper

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1¼ lb. total)

6 slices bacon

4 large eggs

2 heads romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped (about 7 c.)

1 1/4 c. (5 oz.) crumbled feta cheese, divided

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/4 c. buttermilk

1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructies

Preheat oven to 400º. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Arrange chicken on one third of a large rimmed baking sheet and season all over with spice mixture. Arrange bacon in a single layer on other two thirds of baking sheet.

Bake until bacon is crisp and chicken is just cooked through, and a thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken reads 165º, transferring bacon and chicken (once each is cooked) to a plate, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then chop bacon into bits and chicken into bite-sized pieces, keeping each separate.

Meanwhile, in a small pot, cover eggs by 1” water and bring to a boil. When water comes to a boil, remove pan from heat and let eggs sit in hot water for 11 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold water to cool, then peel and roughly chop.

In a food processor, pulse ½ cup feta, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon zest and juice, dill, chives, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper until smooth and thick, about 30 seconds.

Arrange lettuce on a large platter or divide among plates. Top with chicken, bacon, eggs, strawberries, avocado, remaining ¾ cup feta, and pistachios. Drizzle salad with half of dressing and serve remaining dressing on side.
