Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 5 strips of Beef
• 1/4 cup chopped green onion
• 1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

To prepare the chicken, gently season the breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). After taking the chicken out of the pan, let it rest for five minutes before chopping it into small pieces.

Prepare the Beef Stips: Cook the beef slices in the same skillet until they are brown and crispy and have released all of their aromatic oils. To get rid of extra fat, place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. Then, break it up into smaller pieces.
Mix the ingredients together: Combine the chopped chicken, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled beef in a big bowl.
Prepare the dressing: Mix the black pepper and mayonnaise in a small basin. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Put the salad together: Toss the salad well to ensure all the tastes are well distributed. Drizzle the dressing over it.

Serve: For optimal results, chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve alone or, for a full meal, with crackers, toasted bread, or crisp lettuce.
In summary:

This BLT-inspired beef-chicken salad is evidence that basic ingredients can produce exquisite tastes. This adaptable salad will wow with its creamy texture and smokey, savory undertones, whether you’re serving it for breakfast or preparing meals for the week. Enjoy it by itself or with your preferred sides; either way, it’s sure to delight everyone.
