The Protein-Packed Chicken Cobb Salad is one of my go-tos and this salad will pack a good-protein punch!
This salad is one of my favorites. It is perfect to add to your weekly meal plan. Take it to the office with you, eat it at home for lunch or even dinner. This salad is packed with so much protein it can easily be used for your dinner one night of the week. I love eating this for lunch on days I have a lot of afternoon errands to run and I know I won’t be able to eat for a few hours. This salad will keep you full for sure!
Before you get terrified of the eggs and butter. Let me just tell you, stop being scared! For years we were told to stay away from eggs, but unless you have an allergy, eggs are your friend.
