Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 pieces center cut bacon, I use Oscar Mayer
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup light mayo
  • 3/4 cup plain non fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Poached Chicken Method

  • 23 lbs chicken breast, raw
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp peppercorns
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 bay leaves, dried

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Lay the strips of bacon on a baking sheet; chop the red onion and add it to the other side of the baking sheet with cooking spray and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
  • Remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mayo, yogurt, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder, and whisk together.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, scallions, cooked onion, and chicken, stir to combine.
  • Chop or crumble the cooked bacon and fold in.

Poaching Chicken Method:

  • Add the raw chicken to a large pot, add the kosher salt, dried bay leaves, the garlic, and fresh peppercorns (note: you can use any seasonings you wish, depending on the flavor profile of your dish). Cover with water and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover the pot and let the chicken cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
