Cheesecake Factory BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad Recipe
This dish is a wonderful combination of tender grilled chicken, savory BBQ sauce, and the cool, crisp taste of a ranch dressing.The balance of flavors with ingredients like corn, black beans, and crunchy onion strings creates a unique salad experience.One trick I’ve found helpful is letting the chicken rest a few minutes after grilling before slicing it; this keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
- 4 cups Mixed Salad Greens
- 1/2 cup Corn Kernels
- 1/2 cup Black Beans
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 1 Avocado sliced
- 1 Red Onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1 cup Crispy Onion Straws
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken by marinating it in the BBQ sauce for about 30 minutes. This gives it all that delicious flavor!
- Grill the chicken over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side. You want it cooked but still juicy.
- While the chicken cooks, combine the salad greens, corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
- Once the chicken is done, let it sit for a few minutes. Slice it into thin strips.
- Top your salad with the sliced chicken and crispy onion straws. Drizzle with ranch dressing and a bit more BBQ sauce if you like!
