Barbq chicken salad
Servings: 2 | Time: 45 minutes
In my early 20’s I worked at a restaurant called Larchmont grill and the owner at the time had a
love for this delicious salad. I fell in love with it as well, it’s a bizarre concoction of creamy, salty, sweet goodness, and if it weren’t for him I would have never known.
This recipe has a slightly fiery twist. The chipotle powder adds a layer of spiciness that’s out of this world.
Directions
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat a grill pan or your grill to a medium high heat.
-
Sprinkle your chicken breast with chipotle powder, salt and pepper.
-
Spray your chicken breast with nonstick spray to prevent it from sticking to the grate and to help give it better color.
-
When the grill or grill pan has come to the appropriate temperature add your chicken breasts and cook them for 15 minutes, 7 ½ per side, and don’t forget to turn rotate the chicken for grill marks.
-
In a large bowl add the carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, corn and lettuce.
-
Next when the chicken has cooled, slice it on an angle and then add it into the bowl.
-
Add the ranch dressing and turn the lettuce with a plastic spatula (the one you would use for mixing cake batter).
-
Next season the salad with salt and cracked pepper and keep tossing.
-
Next add the chicken and tortilla chips.
-
Place everything onto a platter or individual plates.
-
Drizzle barbq sauce all over the top (I promise it’s delicious).
-
Remember this is a large dinner or lunch salad and should be served as the main course, but if you want it as a side half the amount.
-
Serve and enjoy.
