Easy Barbecue Chicken Salad Recipe

This remarkably simple chicken salad recipe offers a satisfying, yet light meal for warmer weather or times when you don't want to eat a lot. However, it won't leave you hungry later on. Partially prepared foods like boneless chicken and bagged salad greens allow you to put this meal together in minutes!

Remember, like most other forms of chicken salad using freshly cooked meat, you'll want to allow the chicken to cool for a little while before adding it to the cold ingredients. That'll prevent the greens from wilting and allow warm and cool to combine as well as possible. Just remember to observe safety precautions when working with any meat.

Warm Barbecue Chicken Salad With Cheese

Ingredients -

1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
1 ten ounce bag of mixed salad greens
1 tomato, cut into wedges
½ cup thinly sliced onion
½ cup ranch dressing
¼ blue cheese crumbles

Preparation:

Heat chicken in a non-stick skillet on medium high heat until cooked through, stirring frequently. Add barbecue sauce near the end.

If the barbecue chicken seems dry at the end, add more sauce to moisten it. Allow chicken to rest until warm, not hot.

Toss greens and other vegetables in a large bowl and top them with the chicken.

Toss salad lightly with ranch dressing, then sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately for the best result.
