Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ sauce, then grill until cooked through. If frying, bread the chicken, fry until golden brown, and toss with BBQ sauce.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the assorted greens, diced tomatoes, black bean corn salsa, and shredded pepperjack cheese.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken and Dressing

    Slice the BBQ chicken and add it to the salad mixture. Drizzle the cilantro lime ranch dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Top with Tortilla Strips

    Just before serving, sprinkle the tortilla strips on top for added crunch.
