Ingredients

4 Idaho potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 (6-ounce) skinless chicken breast

3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

1/4 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons mustard

1 tablespoon paprika

2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves

2 sage leaves, chopped

2 heads Bibb lettuce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
