Ingredients

BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

BBQ Chicken BLT Salad

  • 2 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I get my chicken from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
  • 1/4 cup Easy Whole30 BBQ Sauce
  • 2 heads romaine lettuce thinly sliced
  • 4 slices thick cut bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 6 green onions sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced

Instructions

BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

  • Combine both ingredients and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

BBQ Chicken BLT Chopped Salad

  • Heat your grill over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the chicken with BBQ sauce.
  • Grill the chicken and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165º, about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken.
  • Toss the romaine lettuce with desired amount of salad dressing. Toss to coat, then transfer dressed lettuce to plates.
  • Top the lettuce with sliced BBQ chicken, chopped bacon, sliced tomatoes, avocado slices, bell pepper and green onions.

Notes

If you can't grill your chicken, just roast the BBQ sauce coated chicken breasts on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 425º oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165º, about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs would be amazing in place of chicken breasts! Even better fat macros!
Could use red or white onion in place of green onions
Any color bell pepper would work! I prefer yellow to have a rainbow of colors in the salad.
