Easy Lunch Meal Prep

We love lunch meal prep. Meals that set you up for healthy lunches all week are game changers, and this rotisserie chicken Cobb salad is both simple to prepare and delicious for several days. It’s also high in protein—about 45 g per serving—making it a satisfying option for lunches or light dinners.

How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Cobb Salad

Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken keeps this Cobb salad quick and easy. Follow these clear steps to assemble a flavorful salad you can serve right away or portion for the week.

Step 1

Debone and shred a medium rotisserie chicken. Most supermarkets carry rotisserie chickens in the deli section at an affordable price.

Step 2

Prepare hard-boiled eggs. Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 8 minutes. Remove immediately and transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel, chop, and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables. Halve cherry tomatoes and finely dice red onion. If using frozen corn, rinse under cool water to thaw; if using canned corn, drain and rinse. Combine the veggies with the chopped eggs and set aside.

Step 4

Cook the bacon. Pan-fry 4 strips of thick-cut bacon over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until it reaches your preferred crispness. Drain excess grease on a paper towel and roughly chop the bacon.

Step 5

Assemble the Cobb salad. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and yellow corn. Toss gently to mix.

Step 6

Add the Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing and toss again until everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Serve immediately over 1–2 cups of chopped romaine per serving, or keep the salad and romaine separate to meal-prep for later to preserve crispness.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing

Making your own Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing is quick and lets you control the ingredients. If you prefer a shortcut, a store-bought Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing will also work.

Step 1

Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth.

Step 2

Break up the blue cheese with a fork into smaller pieces. Leave larger chunks if you like a chunkier dressing.

Step 3

Adjust consistency by adding water, a teaspoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired thickness.

How to Store Chicken Cobb Salad
