Chicken Cobb Salad is American home cooking, eaten at lunch. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.

How to cook it
- Hard-boil the eggs, then cool, peel, and quarter them.

- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and pan-sear over medium-high until 165F inside, about 6 minutes per side, then rest and dice.
- Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon, salt, and pepper into a dressing.
