Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded 1/2 inch thick)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons homemade barbecue sauce (or prepared store-bought sauce)
6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes, halved)
1 cup canned low-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup canned Mexicorn (drained)
1/4 cup diced red onion
Crushed tortilla chips ( or strips for serving)
Chopped fresh cilantro (for serving)
1/3 cup prepared light ranch dressing
1 tablespoon homemade barbecue sauce (or prepared store-bought sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the pounded chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on one side for 4 minutes, flip, brush the grilled sides with barbecue sauce, then grill the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and brush the other grilled side with barbecue sauce. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or measuring cup with a spout, stir together the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce. Taste and adjust the ratio as desired.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the romaine, tomatoes, beans, Mexicorn, red onion, and chopped chicken. Drizzle the salad with dressing, then toss to lightly coat. Serve immediately, topped with crushed tortilla chips and cilantro.

CHEF'S SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN AND BLACK PEPPER RANCH



Chef's Salad with Grilled Chicken and Black Pepper Ranch image

I thoroughly enjoyed eating this salad for dinner, but my favorite bites were the chunks of sharp Cheddar, lettuce, dressing, cucumber, and chicken. This is a classic ranch dressing ratio, so it hits your taste buds the way it should. The black pepper is not oppressive as it's balanced out by the tangy buttermilk and creamy mayo. Can't go wrong with this!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¼ cup whole buttermilk
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon grated or minced garlic
5 ounces butter lettuce, torn
3 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (400 to 450 degrees F, or 200 to 230 degrees C) or a grill pan over medium-high heat; oil the grates. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle evenly with 3/4 teaspoon salt.
