Step 1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into boiling water and cook for 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, then peel and chop.
Step 2
While eggs cook, pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and chop once cooled.
Step 4
In the same skillet with bacon fat remaining, heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or chop.
Step 5
Whisk together red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Place chopped romaine on a large platter or divide between two plates. Arrange chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese in rows or clusters over the lettuce.
Step 7
Drizzle vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine or let diners dress their own portion.
