Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak them for 30 minutes prior)
- 6–8 cups mixed greens or chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Thread the seasoned chicken pieces alternately with the bell pepper pieces onto your skewers.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning them regularly to ensure even cooking and charring.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, generously brush the skewers with BBQ sauce.
- While the skewers are grilling, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, layer the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Once the chicken skewers are cooked, arrange them on top of the prepared salad.
- Drizzle the entire salad with ranch dressing and an extra touch of BBQ sauce before serving.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
