Ingredients

• 4 grilled chicken breasts (seasoned with garlic powder & paprika)

• 6 strips turkey bacon, cooked and chopped

• 4 cups chopped romaine or spring mix

• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

• ½ cucumber, diced

• ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

• ½ avocado, sliced

• ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Homemade Protein Ranch Dressing

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp water

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp ranch seasoning mix

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Grill the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with garlic powder and paprika. Grill for 6–7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.

2. Cook the Bacon: While the chicken grills, cook turkey bacon in a skillet until crispy. Let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, water, olive oil, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, layer chopped greens, sliced grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and cheese. Drizzle generously with your homemade ranch.
