Place the chicken breasts in a shallow glass storage container. Pierce with a fork on both sides. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, flip, cover, and place in the fridge to marinate for 6–⏱️ 8 hours.

Place a medium saucepan of water on the stove over high heat and bring to a rolling boil (you can cover the pan to make it boil faster). Gently lower the cold eggs into the water, cover the pan, turn the heat down slightly, and set the timer for ⏱️ 8 minutes. After the ⏱️ 8 minutes, remove to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Once cool, peel and slice.

Meanwhile, heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken breasts. Sear until nicely browned, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Flip and transfer to the preheated oven and cook just until they register 165ºF (74ºC). Start checking after ⏱️ 6 minutes.

Place 1/4 of the lettuce and peppers in a salad bowl. Arrange an egg, a few olives, and some chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
