With the smoky flavor of grilled chicken and the creamy goodness of homemade ranch dressing, this BBQ Chicken Salad with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is a tasty and filling meal. It's a quick and tasty way to make lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 2 cups mixed salad greens. 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup corn kernels fresh or canned. 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed. 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. 1/4 cup buttermilk. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. 1 teaspoon dried dill. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through, basting with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the ranch dressing. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add the sliced BBQ chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle the buttermilk ranch dressing over the salad. Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and coat them with the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
