bbq chicken chopped salad

we heart cpk. can you tell with my last few posts

here is a favorite dish of ours
now EASILY made at home
and pretty.. and delicious.

make it. you will not be sorry, ever.

corn tortilla strips
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 TB olive oil
1 TB garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Rays)
10 ounces mixed chopped greens romaine and iceburg
1/8 cup fresh basil
1/2 lb jicima cut into strips
1 cup monterrey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup black beans, drained
1/2 cup corn kernels, drained
1/2 teaspoon cilantro, chopped
1 lb tomatoe, diced
1/4 cup scallions, thinly diced (we leave this off sometimes)

Make the chicken: stir together olive oil, garlic, soy sauce and salt. Turn the chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for 15 minutes. Grill the breasts until cooked through. Cut into strips, and toss with barbecue sauce. ** If you are extra lazy you can use some precooked chicken chop, and then toss with BBQ sauce.. Im just saying.

In a large mixing bowl, toss togetrher lettuce, basil, jicama, cheese, beans, corn, cilantro, dressing and tortilla strips. Transfer to chilled plates.

Surround each salad with tomatoes and chips, top each salad with chicken and drizzle with barbecue sauce.Garnish with scallions and bacon.
