Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water, then slice them in half. Scatter them over the lettuce in the bowl.

  3. 3

    Slice the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the salad bowl.

Cooking Chicken and Bacon

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, with a bit of the bacon fat, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Chicken

    If not already cooked, grill or pan-fry the chicken breast until fully cooked. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly of Salad

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In the large salad bowl with the lettuce, add the cooked chicken, sautéed onions, and crumble the crispy bacon on top.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salad.

  3. 9

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the BBQ sauce over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients well.
