This recipe for barbecue chicken salad is very similar to one at a popular restaurant near my house. I loved it there and decided to make it at home. Now it's one of my favorite salads to make!
Ingredients
- 2 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 head red leaf lettuce , rinsed and torn
- 1 head green leaf lettuce , rinsed and torn
- 1 fresh tomato , chopped
- 1 bunch cilantro , chopped
- 1 can whole kernel corn , 15.25 ounce
- 1 can black beans , 15 ounce
- 1 can French fried onions , 2.8 ounce
- 0.5 cups ranch dressing
- 0.5 cups barbecue sauce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

2
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat, cool, and slice.

Irish Boiled Dinner (Corned Beef)
Easy boiled dinner of mouthwatering, tender corned beef with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. This is my Irish great-grandmother's recipe. We serve it with soda bread and cornbread at our house.
Sweet and Savory Brisket
The sweet and savory mixture this brisket simmers in sounds weird, but it is actually very good. You can add potatoes and carrots during the last couple of hours if you want. This is a good recipe if you aren't going to be home all day to watch it.
