This BBQ Chicken Salad is a fantastic summer salad recipe. It tastes fantastic and contains a mix of delicious ingredients like lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and corn. Tortilla strips bring a crunchy texture. The whole salad is slathered with a creamy ranch dressing.
Start by grilling chicken. Just before the end of the cooking time, brush with barbecue sauce. Rest the chicken before slicing. Make BBQ ranch dressing by mixing ranch dressing with barbecue sauce. Assemble the salad by tossing lettuce with tomatoes, corn, onions, cheese, and cucumbers. Place sliced chicken and tortilla strips on top. Drizzle with BBQ ranch dressing and serve.
To make my version of BBQ Chicken Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season two boneless and skinless chicken breasts with salt.
Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for another 4 minutes.
Brush with BBQ Sauce. Cook for a further 2 minutes before flipping and brushing the opposite side with BBQ sauce. Cook for 2-4 more minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips.
Combine ½ a cup of ranch dressing with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce in a small bowl.
Toss 3 chopped heads of lettuce with cucumber, onion, tomatoes, corn and cheese. Top with the sliced BBQ chicken and crispy tortilla strips.
Serve drizzled with the BBQ ranch dressing.
