I’m sure many of you have tried a BBQ chicken salad at some point…but I have to say this is one of my favorite salads ever!! It’s definitely a close tie with Costa Vida’s sweet pork salad.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1/2 bottle bbq sauce
- lettuce
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can corn
- tomatoes
- onion
- cilantro
- tortilla strips
- ranch packet
- tomatillo
- lime
Instructions
- 1. Put 3 chicken breast in crock pot with 1/4 in water. I probably pour about a 1/2 a bottle of bbq sauce over it. Just keep pouring... If I have onions I will put a few slices on top to give it a little more flavor. After it has cooked about 4 hours on high, I take the chicken out and shred it.
- 2. Then grab a can of corn and black beans and begin to warm. I put a spoonful of salsa over my beans and just salt on the corn.
- 3. Next comes the pico (I left out the jalapenos).
- 4. For my dressing I either use a ranch packet or use the pre-made stuff-depending on how lazy I am. I add in desired amount of cilantro, 1-2 tomatillos and 1/2 lime juiced. If you like spicy you can add in a jalapeno.
- 4. Then layer it all up.
Mmmm I think this needs to be on the menu this week!

I've never used crockpot meat for a salad. This is a good idea, especially for warm weather.

This looks amazing and I love that you can load up on the proteins to turn this into a full meal. Too often I eat a salad and am hungry a couple of hours later. I hope you don’t mind that I spotlighted your recipe (linkback and full credit to the source of course!) in my list of best summer recipes.

This salad looks so good! It would be great with the pepita dressing from El Torito!
