What Makes Cobb Salad a Cobb Salad?

The Classic Cobb salad has been around for a long time. And just like the ingredients in this Keto Cobb Salad recipe, it has chopped grilled or roasted chicken, boiled eggs, crispy bacon and a cool dressing.

There are various stories about the origin of the Cobb Salad. One story is that it was created by the chef at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant all the way back in 1937. The chef named it after the owner of the restaurant Robert Cobb.

Tips for Perfectly Grilled Chicken

  • Always start off with clean grates on your grill. Because chicken breasts are so lean, they will stick to dirty grates. After you've cleaned the grates brush them with a little oil to help create a nonstick surface.
  • When it comes to chicken breasts, bigger is not always best. Large chicken breasts, over 10-12 ounces, take a long time to cook and can be difficult to cook evenly.
  • If you have large chicken breasts or if the chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound down the thicker side to the thickness of the thinner side. Or you can opt to butterfly the breasts, if you prefer. Both will ensure even cooking.
  • Because boneless, skinless chicken breasts are so lean, they should be grilled quickly over high heat to retain as much moisture as possible.
  • Cook chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side. Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. You want your chicken to cook until it reaches 165F, this usually takes between 10 to 15 minutes.
  • After you take the chicken off the grill, let them rest for about 10 minutes before cutting. This allows the juice to redistribute throughout the breasts.
