Southwest BBQ Chicken Salad!

Been on a real bbq chicken kick lately lol but honestly check out the picture of this salad below!! Heart eyes! Also making the chicken is so easy in the crock pot #score!

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts

1 cup bbq sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Hawaiian Bbq sauce!)

3 cups romaine lettuce + 2 cups spinach ( I liked combining the two but you could do all romaine or all spinach!)

For the dressing!

1 1/2 cup ranch ( I used Hidden Valley's Greek Yogurt Ranch)

1 lime juiced

1/2 cup cilantro

Toppings:

Red onion, chopped

Yellow, red, or green bell pepper- chopped

Tomato, diced

Tortilla strips

Avocado, cut into cubes

Cheddar/Monterrey Jack/Mexican Blend cheese (whatever you want!)

Corn and bean salsa (optional- mine didn't have this)

Directions:

Put chicken and bbq sauce in crockpot on low heat for 6 hours or on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily). Shred chicken.

For dressing: place ranch, lime juice, and cilantro in blender to combine.

Salad Prep!!

Put desired amount of lettuce/spinach on plate. Add shredded chicken, desired toppings, dressing, and finally tortilla strips! YUM!!!
