BBQ Chicken Salad

Let me tell you this dinner is definitely worth trying once. I absolutely loved it and so did Eric. Even Porter ate a whole bunch of chicken which he normally doesn't do.

Ingredients:

1/2 head iceberg lettuce chopped
romaine lettuce chopped
1 cup frozen white corn- rinse under cold water, or fresh corn if in season:)
1 can black beans- drain & rinse
2 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
2 medium diced tomatoes
1-2 avocados chunked
drizzle 1/2 lime over to prevent from browning

Ranch Dressing:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mayo
1 package Hidden Valley ranch mix
1/4 cup cilantro

BBQ Chicken:1 hour before, marinade 2 pounds chicken tenders in
1/4 cup olive oil,
1/4 cup soy sauce,
1 tsp minced garlic,
1/2 tsp salt & pepper.

Place chicken on broiler pan and broil 4-6 minutes per side. Let cool then dice in cubes,then toss with 1/2 cup bbq sauce of your choice! (I LOVE Sweet Baby Rays) On large platter, layer lettuces, corn, black beans, cheese & tomatoes. Top with warm bbq chicken and avocados!Serve with ranch dressing, garlic bread or HOME MADE ROLLS!
