Instructions

Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, honey, salt, and pepper in a jar.
Marinate the chicken in half the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to high heat and cook marinated chicken for 8-10 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
Cook bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a cold oven at 375°F for about 15 minutes until crispy.
Hard-boil eggs in boiling water for precisely 7 minutes; cool and slice in half.
Assemble salad with mixed lettuce as the base; layer with chicken slices, avocado, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, halved eggs, and crispy bacon. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over the top.
