Instructions
- Add 3 cups (6 cups) warm water to a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Using a spoon, lower egg into the boiling water. Cook for 7 min for a runny yolk or 9 min for a set yolk.**
- Drain and rinse egg under cold water for 30 sec, until cool enough to peel.
- Peel, then halve eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer walnuts to a plate.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side until golden, 6-7 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking, until cooked through, 6-7 min.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add bacon to the same pan. Cook, flipping occasionally over medium-low, until crispy, 5-7 min.** Remove from heat.
- Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Carefully drain and discard all but 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) bacon fat. Leave the fat in the pan.
- Drain and rinse capers, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Reheat the same pan with bacon fat over medium.
- When hot, add capers. Fry until crispy, 2-4 min.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer capers to the paper-towel lined plate with bacon (from step 2).
- Meanwhile, thinly slice radishes.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Finely chop dill.
- Crumble or cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut bacon with ease.)
- Add spring mix, radishes, half the dill and ranch dressing to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide spring mix between plates. Top with chicken, tomatoes, capers and eggs.
- Sprinkle walnuts, feta, bacon and remaining dill over top.
If you've opted to add chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side until golden, 6-7 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking, until cooked through, 6-7 min.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. [Use the same pan to cook bacon in step 3.]
Thinly slice chicken. Top plates with chicken.
