Southwest Chicken Cobb Salad Recipe

Salad Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Grilled Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with chipotle seasoning and grill them over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.

2. 2

   Cook the Corn

   If using fresh corn, grill it until charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Let cool and then cut the kernels off the cob. If using canned or frozen, simply heat until warmed through.

3. 3

   Prepare the Black Beans

   If using canned black beans, rinse them under cold water and drain. If using dried beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender.

4. 4

   Prepare the Soft-Boiled Eggs

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes. Remove and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half.

5. 5

   Chop the Vegetables

   Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the avocado.

6. 6

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, layer the leaf lettuce, followed by the grilled corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and sliced grilled chicken. Top with soft-boiled eggs and fried shallots.

7. 7

   Serve with Dressing

   Drizzle BBQ ranch dressing over the top of the salad and serve immediately.
