How to Make Warm Bbq Chicken And Vegetable Salad

  1. Sprinkle 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning. Set aside while corn soaks (see step 2).
  2. Soak 4 ears of corn in warm water for 15 minutes to make husking easier.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup BBQ sauce, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and salt & pepper to taste until sugar dissolves.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill corn and chicken for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and corn is slightly charred.
  5. Remove corn and chicken from grill. Let cool slightly. Remove husks and silk from corn.
  6. Slice corn kernels off the cob.
  7. Slice chicken diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces.
  8. In a large bowl, toss 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper (sliced), ½ red onion (sliced), and 1 zucchini (sliced) with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  9. Grill vegetables for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly charred and tomatoes begin to blister.
  10. Combine grilled chicken, corn, and vegetables in a large bowl. Pour BBQ dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  11. Serve immediately over salad greens (optional) with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional) and a side of potato wedges (optional).
