Instructions

For the marinade, whisk together dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a glass measuring cup. Marinate the chicken in a freezer bag for 1-4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (425°F). Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F; let rest before slicing.
Grill halved romaine and avocado until charred (about 3 minutes for romaine and 4-6 minutes for avocado).
Assemble the salad: Arrange grilled romaine on a platter, top with chicken slices, bacon, quartered eggs, avocado halves, cherry tomatoes, and blue cheese.
