The best barbecue chicken salad recipes
For me, when the weather is warm, there is no more satisfying and delicious dish than a hearty salad. It is fresh and healthy and makes the most of summer produce, it is a quick and easy meal that won’t heat the kitchen. We have some favorite entree salads (occasionally throw new salads here and there), but this BBQ Chicken Salad is a real favorite.
For beginners, smoked, grilled barbecue chicken is just a summer scream. You can throw it onto almost anything and it tastes delicious, but it is definitely the center stage in this salad. Secondly, it is packed with delicious nutritional packaging ingredients. Last but not least…it’s easy and downright delicious. The BBQ ranch dressing is simple and delicious. Trust me, this is a salad that you will turn over and over again.

Ingredients You Need to Make a BBQ Chicken Salad:
- lettuce– Hearty, crispy romaine lettuce is perfect for this salad.
- Cherry tomatoes– We like to use cherry tomatoes, but you can also use diced roman tomatoes.
- corn– Fresh, frozen or canned. We used frozen corn.
- Black beans– One person can rinse and drain.
- Red onion– We love the color and spicy flavor of the red onion. The scallions or fried onions are also delicious.
- avocado– Creamy and delicious.
- Monterey Jack cheese– The gentle buttery Monterey Jack cheese is delicious here. We also used pepper Jack and cheddar.
- Ranch seasoning– We used homemade ranch seasonings.
- Barbecue sauce– Make sure you use the brand you tried and liked! We love sweet baby ray.
Barbecue chicken
- chicken breast– We used boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- olive oil– Any neutral flavored oil will work here.
- chili– Increase smoky flavor.
- cold water and sea salt– Make salt water.
- Barbecue sauce– Again, just. Make sure to use your favorite brand as this will be the general flavor.

How to Make a BBQ Chicken Salad:
- roast chicken. We used our favorite BBQ Chicken Breast Recipe. If you are short of time, you can also use the grilled roasted chicken!
- Make seasonings. This is probably the easiest dressing in the world. Just stir the barbecue sauce and ranch seasoning. We almost always have homemade ranch seasonings on hand, so that’s what we use here. Add a few tablespoons of BBQ sauce and stir. Taste and add more as needed.
- Prepare other ingredients. Slice the avocado and tomatoes, slice the red onions, wash the lettuce, chop the cheese, and drain the black beans.
- Build a salad. Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Cut into barbecue chicken and add to salad. Drizzle with seasoning and serve immediately.

Tips and suggestions:
BBQ Chicken Salad Pack
This salad makes for an incredibly delicious (and portable!) package! Using large tortillas, add a little lettuce, sliced chicken and any covering ingredients you like. Drizzle with seasoning and set it tightly.
Grilled chicken salad meal preparation
When all work is cooking, it is a good idea to prepare extra ingredients for the whole week. It only takes a few minutes, but saves a lot of time later. Store ingredients separately so that they are fresh until ready to eat. All you have to do is assemble!
change
- Replace the red onions with fried onions.
- There are crushed corn tortillas on top.
- Use a spoonful of avocado sauce instead of thinly sliced avocado.
- While cooking the chicken, throw the corn onto the grill. Cut the core off the rod and add it to the salad for another delicious smoky flavor.
- Add spinach to the vegetables.

For the chicken
-
Salt chicken breast. This helps the chicken absorb moisture so that they don’t dry on the grill. The chicken won’t be salty as the salt water is not very long, but the flavor and moisture level will be great!
-
In a large mixing bowl, stir 4 cups of cold water with sea salt until the salt dissolves. Add the chicken breast to water, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
When the chicken is burning, heat the grill to medium heat. Grind the chicken with a small amount of olive oil before placing it on salted water. Rub the chicken from salted water and dry the chicken with a tissue. Coat the chicken with olive oil and season with chili powder on both sides.
-
Place the chicken on the hot grill and fill the top with BBQ sauce. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes without interruption. Flip the chicken over and move it to the cool side of the grill. Fry the other side with barbecue sauce. Cover the grill and let them finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and brush with the last layer of BBQ sauce. Cover and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
For salad

In a large bowl, mix together chopped romaine lettuce, thinly sliced cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced avocado, corn, black beans, red onions and chopped cheese. Combination of toss and tricks. Slice the grilled chicken in thin slices.
For flavor
-
In a small bowl, stir the ranch and barbecue sauce. Drizzle salad with seasoning and tossing coating, or apply seasoning on the sides. Serve with tortillas and enjoy!
