Notes
- Blackened chicken can be prepared when making the salad, or ahead of time. You can use any of these blackened chicken recipes depending on your preference for meat:
- While you can use bottled salad dressing on this recipe, it really shines if you use a quick and easy homemade dressing. I promise it will be worth the extra 5 minutes to make it!
- Here are a few of my favorite pairings for this salad:
- Blackened Chicken Breast recipe
- Blackened Chicken Thighs recipe
- Blackened Chicken Tenders recipe
