BBQ Chicken CPK Salad:
½ head iceberg lettuce
½ head romaine lettuce
12 large fresh basil leaves, dieed
1 lb jicama, chopped
2 c shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 c canned black beans
1 c canned sweet white corn kernels
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 lb ripe tomatoes diced
½ c sweet/spicy bbq sauce
¼ c green onions
tortilla strips
Herb Ranch Dressing (if you don't have time to make this dressing, just use your favorite ranch...it's still good!)
½ tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp cold water
2 ¾ c mayonnaise
1 c buttermilk
7 Tbsp sour cream
2 ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 ½ Tbsp scallions (greens and whites)
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp minced fresh Italian parsley
1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp minced fresh dill
½ tsp minced fresh oregano (1/4 tsp dried)
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp minced fresh basil
Chicken:
1 1/3 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/3 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ c good sweet/spicy bbq sauce
To make the ranch dressing, use a fork to stir the mustard and water, forming a paste. Set aside for 10 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl and use an electric mixer at low speed to blend together until smooth. Try not to incorporate too much air into the dressing. To make the chicken, preheat a grill or broiler. Mix together the olive oil, garlic, soy, and salt. Marinade the breasts at room temperature for 15 minutes. Grill or broil until cooked through (5-6 minutes per side). Chill thoroughly and then cut chicken into cubes. Toss with the bbq sauce to coat well. Mix all ingredients for the salad and top served with chicken, bbq sauce, and dressing. Garnish with scallions and tortilla chips.
