Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper on both sides, then brush liberally with American Garden BBQ Sauce Original.
Put the chicken in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Cook until chicken is golden.
Flip once and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 70°C and has beautiful grill marks.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces. This resting period keeps the meat juicy and allows the flavors to settle.
To make the salad, place lettuce in a large bowl.
Top with the BBQ chicken pieces, diced tomato, corn kernels, diced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Drizzle American Garden Ranch Dressing over the entire BBQ chicken salad just before serving.
Mix everything together gently.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness and enjoy your BBQ chicken salad!
