This grilled chicken salad is addictive and delicious! Between the crispy onions, smoky corn and black beans, and BBQ ranch dressing, you'll be hooked at first bite. The fact that the BBQ chicken in this recipe is freshly grilled, versus reheated in the back of a food assembly line, guarantees for a richer taste and increased BBQ Chicken Salad satisfaction.

Ingredients

1/3 cup prepared light ranch dressing
chopped fresh cilantro
crushed tortilla chips
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup canned Mexicorn
1 cup canned low-sodium black beans

2 tbsp. homemade barbecue sauce
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Method

01

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the pounded chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Grill on one side for 4 minutes, flip, brush the grilled sides with barbecue sauce, then grill the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
03

Remove to a serving plate and brush the other grilled side with barbecue sauce. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
04

In a small bowl or measuring cup with a spout, stir together the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce. Taste and adjust the ratio as desired.
