Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into small bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon 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
Homemade Ranch Dressing
- 1 Cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- Chicken: You can use chicken thighs instead if you prefer. Don't like chicken? Use shrimp.
- Want to add any other veggies like olives? Go ahead but keep in mind anything you add will alter the calorie amount.
- If you do not want to make the ranch from scratch that is fine. Use your favorite Ranch dressing.
