  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 cups butter lettuce torn
  • 2 radish sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber sliced
  • 2 eggs soft boiled and cut in half
  • 2/3 pound chicken thighs bone in, skin on

Instructions

  • Place the chicken skin side down on the preheated baking sheet and return the chicken to the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve dressing until chicken is done cooking.
  • Flip chicken over so the skin is facing up. Turn on the oven's broiler and broil for another 5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown.
  • Remove chicken from the oven and rest while you prepare the salad.
  • Combine butter lettuce, cucumbers, and sliced watermelon radish in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and top with halved soft boiled eggs. Slice chicken into strips and place on top of the salad and serve.
