Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Barbecue Chicken Salad.
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 2
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on it and let them cook for about six minutes on each side.
Step 3
You’ll know they’re done when the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
After grilling, remove the chicken and let it cool for a moment before slicing it into delicious strips.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooling, grab a large mixing bowl and toss together some torn red and green leaf lettuces, chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, drained corn, and black beans.
Step 6
Gently mix everything to ensure the flavors blend beautifully.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to elevate your salad! Top the vibrant mixture with those juicy grilled chicken strips and sprinkle some French fried onions on top for that irresistible crunch.
Step 8
For the dressing, whisk together ranch dressing and barbecue sauce in a small bowl until they’re perfectly combined.
Step 9
You can either serve this tasty dressing on the side for dipping or toss it with the salad to coat all those fresh ingredients.
Step 10
Enjoy your colorful, flavorful creation that’s sure to impress at any gathering!.
