Cobb Salad with Bleu Cheese

I love bleu cheese! It's probably one of my favorite foods. I know it's an acquired taste and some people don't like it. If you don't like it you can make this salad with your favorite dressing and use a different kind of cheese in the salad. Either way it would be so good.

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb chicken, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

2 avocados, chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and quartered


Dressing:
In a food processor, place 1/2 cup bleu cheese, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Process until combined.


Cook bacon until crisp. Remove and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Drain all but 1 Tbsp of fat from the pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in bacon fat until cooked through.
