FOR THE CHICKEN FINGERS:
6 cups Corn Tortilla Chips
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 pound Thin Sliced Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Cut Into Smaller Strips
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt To Taste
FOR THE SALAD:
1 head Large Head Romaine Lettuce, Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces
1/4 pounds Prepared Chicken Fingers
4 strips Bacon, Cooked Until Crisp Then Chopped
1 Large Avocado, Peeled, Pitted And Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces
1/2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, Cut In Half If Desired
1/4 cups Blue Cheese, Crumbled
4 Hard Boiled Eggs, Peeled And Cut In Half
FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
1 Shallot, Minced
2 teaspoons Grainy Mustard
2 teaspoons Honey Or Agave
1/4 cups Olive Oil
1/4 cups Red Wine Vinegar
Salt And Pepper, to taste

1
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Prepare a rimmed sheet pan by fitting a cooling rack on top of it.
2
In the bowl of a food processor add the tortilla chips, salt and onion powder and pulse it until it is a fine crumb. Set the crumbs on a plate or a sheet pan.
3
Take the strips of chicken and rub them with the olive oil. Sprinkle them with kosher salt.
4
Gently dredge the chicken in the crumbs, pressing them into the chicken to stick in a thick coating. Place each coated chicken strip on the rack until they are all finished.
5
Bake the chicken fingers at 450 F for 10-12 minutes or until the coating is turning golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside.
6
Arrange the lettuce on a platter and add all of the other elements on top of it As you can see by the photo and related link, I made a big bed of lettuce and then did strips of each of the other ingredients across the bed of lettuce. Chop the chicken and add it as well. I made extra chicken in the above recipe; I used the extra for other purposes. I only used about 1/4 of it for the salad.
7
For the dressing:
8
In a small bowl combine the shallot, mustard, honey, oil, vinegar and the salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Drizzle across salad. Toss and serve immediately.
