How to Make Barbecue Ranch Chicken Salad
- Cook chicken: Grill, bake, or pan-fry 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Shred or chop the chicken.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Set aside.
- Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup chopped red onion (use a mild variety), 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen, thawed).
- Dress the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro or avocado if desired.
