Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with the southwestern spice rub evenly on both sides. Grill or cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, chop the romaine lettuce, avocado, and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain the black beans and corn.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine, black beans, corn, avocado, and tomato. Toss gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken and Toppings

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and lay the BBQ wontons over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle BBQ ranch dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
