BBQ Chicken Salad

Yum

May 12, 2014 by Jodi + 3 Comments

BBQ chicken salad is healthy, flavorful and comes together so quickly and easily, and it is guaranteed to be a hit with your entire family!

If spring ever does decides to come and stay, I will be sooo happy. I don’t mind the rain, after all, I live in the desert and we could really use it.  I’m just tired of gray skies and cool temps.

It was another cold night at baseball games and I’m getting a little tired of it.  I just want warmth and sunshine, is that asking too much? I don’t think so. At least the rainy weather is a good excuse to stay in and bake.

Enough about the weather, let’s talk salad.  BBQ chicken salad.  This is probably one of my very favorite salads ever. It’s a complete no brainer to throw together and is so versatile, you can add whatever you like.  Because I’m all about simplifying, I like to use a rotisserie chicken  . . .yay  for rotisserie chickens (love them!).

What makes this salad so fabulous is the dressing.

BBQ SAUCE  +  RANCH DRESSING = A KILLER SALAD DRESSING .

I used to mix them together (equal parts of each), but again, it’s all about simplifying, so I just drizzle a little bit of both on top. Rather than mixing the whole thing up in a bowl, I just let my boys grab a plate and make their own, that way everyone gets what they like and they can put on as much salad dressing as they want.

I could eat this every day for lunch. . .love, love, love this salad.

Ingredients

  • Shredded rotisserie chicken
  • Mixed greens (I like to use romaine, green and red leaf)
  • Corn (canned or frozen-thawed of course)
  • Black Beans
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • Tortilla strips
  • BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is our favorite)
  • Ranch Dressing (preferably homemade)

Instructions

  1. Place lettuce on a plate and top with chicken corn, bean, tomatoes, shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Drizzle with equal parts BBQ sauce and ranch dressing.
  2. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This is such a no brainer recipe, that I didn’t list any specific amounts of ingredients. Use as little or as much of the ingredients to suit your tastes. When I’m not worried about keeping it quick and simple, I have grilled chicken breasts basted with BBQ sauce and then cut into pieces. Either way you choose, this salad is so scrumptious!

    This was such an easy and delicious salad. I don’t usually like BBQ salads but I thought I would try this one because my husband loves them and I was very pleasantly surprised and will be making this again:)
