Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, coat the chicken breasts with half of the BBQ sauce. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for better flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Top the mixed greens with diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 5

    Add Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts and arrange them on top of the salad.

  4. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the chipotle ranch dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat everything evenly.

  5. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crispy cheddar onions on top for added crunch.
