Ingredients

1 lb Chicken Breast (cut into small bite-sized pieces)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
4 Cups Packed Greens of choice
¼ Small Red Onion (sliced)
¾ Cup Cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
½ English Cucumber (sliced or chopped)
1 Avocado (sliced)
⅓ Cup Corn (Fresh or canned)
1 Cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2-3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Onion (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Fresh chives (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp Fresh dill (finely chopped)
Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Start with making the homemade ranch dressing. Add all the ingredients to a small jar, place the lid on, then shake to emulsify.
Pour about 1/3 of the dressing over the chicken and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Refrigerate the remaining dressing until ready to use.
Next, heat oil in a large non-stick pan, and add in the chicken in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through about 5-7 minutes.
To assemble the salad, add green to a large bowl. Top with remaining ingredients. Just before serving toss with the dressing and enjoy!

CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Cucumber Ranch Dressing image

Ranch dressing pairs up well with sturdy lettuces, not delicate ones, which droop under its heft. Ours also makes a refreshing dip for blanched vegetables such as these mixed beans.
