BBQ Chicken Salad
Summer to me means barbecue anything. I especially LOVE barbecue chicken! This salad takes all of my favorite Summer flavors and combines them with barbecue chicken and a lightened up Greek yogurt ranch sauce. So easy- so delicious- so satisfying! You have a weeknight meal in less than 10 minutes. What more could you want?
- Yield: 1 salad 1x
Ingredients
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken (I use leftover rotisserie!)
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce of your choice
1 head of romaine
1 ear corn
Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 avocado sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup shredded cheddar
Thinly sliced red onion

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Salt
Pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
In a pan over high heat add a little oil and let the corn char slightly on all sides. Make sure to turn often. While the corn is cooking prepare everything else
In a small bowl combine the shredded cooked chicken and BBQ sauce. Set aside
Tear by hand a romaine head and add to a bowl
To the lettuce add the tomatoes, black beans, avocado slices, chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar, thinly sliced red onion, and black beans
Once the corn is cooked cut the kernels off too the cob and add it to the salad along with the BBQ chicken
Now it’s time to make the ranch! In a small bowl add the Greek yogurt, champagne vinegar, milk, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine and drizzle over the top of your DELICIOUS salad. Yum.
