Balanced Chicken, Avocado, Egg & Apple Bowl

1.Prepare the chicken: If using raw chicken, cook it by poaching, grilling, or baking until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.

2.Prepare the eggs: Place eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Drain, cool under cold running water, peel, and quarter.

3.Prepare the apple: Core the apple and thinly slice or dice it. To prevent browning, you can toss the apple pieces with a squeeze of lemon juice (not included in ingredients if not desired).

4.Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

5.Assemble the bowl: Arrange the mixed salad greens as the base in a large bowl. Artfully arrange the shredded chicken, diced avocado, quartered hard-boiled eggs, and apple slices on top of the greens.

6.Drizzle the dressing generously over the assembled bowl just before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, balanced flavors.
