Ingredients
- 4-5 slices grilled chicken (you can find this in the freezer section at the grocery store or use leftovers) or a grilled chicken breast
- 1/4 cup corn kernels, drained
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Applewood smoked bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons creamy ranch dressing (Marzetti® brand recommended)
- 4 cups salad greens - ideally a mix of iceberg and romaine
Instructions
- In an iron skillet, cook the corn over medium-high until it begins to blacken. Be careful as this will happen quickly and you don’t want it to burn.
- Remove the corn from skillet.
- If your chicken isn’t already cooked, turn the heat to medium and add 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same skillet.
- Sprinkle your chicken with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook chicken on one side in the skillet until edges are opaque, about 7-10 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over. Cover and cook about 10 minutes more or until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the salad greens in a bowl.
- Top the salad greens with chicken, corn, tomatoes, and bacon.
- Mix the honey with 1 tablespoon of the BBQ sauce and drizzle it over the salad.
- Blend the remaining BBQ sauce with the ranch dressing and serve it with the salad.
