Ingredients
- 4 ounce chicken cutlet
- salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
- ¼ Cup BBQ Sauce plus more for drizzling
- 3 Cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ⅓ Cup halved cherry tomatoes
- ¼ Cup sliced avocado
- ¼ Cup shredded carrot
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion optional
- ¼ Cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tablespoons ranch dressing
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook the chicken for a few minutes on both sides, until cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part will read 165F. Remove from the skillet to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into bite sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces with the bbq sauce. The bbq sauce will Coll the chicken substantially so heat in the microwave if you prefer your bbq chicken to not be cold.
- Assembled the salads by adding the romaine to a large salad bowl. Now pile on the BBQ chicken, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, carrots, red onion, cheese, and finally top with the ranch dressing and more BBQ sauce if desired.
