How to Make Bbq Chicken Green Salad

  4. Let the chicken cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate.
  5. While the chicken is baking/cooling, prepare your salad. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups of mixed greens, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (optional).
  6. Add the chilled BBQ chicken to the salad.
  7. Gently toss to combine.
