Bbq Ranchero Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Brush both sides of chicken with barbecue sauce; grill or broil about 5" from heat source 6 minutes per side, or until juices are clear.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, pepper, corn, black beans, olives and green onions; mix well.
• Combine dressing, chili powder and cumin; mix well.
• To serve, divide lettuce mixture onto 6 serving plates.
• Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2" thick slices; arrange over lettuce. Drizzle salads with dressing and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Chicken may be cooked, cooled, covered and refrigerated up to 1 day before serving.
• Reheat chicken or served chilled.
• Lettuce mixture and dressing may be prepared separately, covered and refrigerated up to 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• HEAT grill to medium-high heat. GRILL chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165°F), brushing with barbecue sauce for the last 2 min. COMBINE salad greens, vegetables and cheese in large bowl; top with chicken. TOSS with dressing just before serving.
• Prepare using grilled corn on the cob, which can be grilled in a variety of ways - in the husks, shucked, or shucked and wrapped in foil. For all methods, heat the grill to medium-high heat. Grilling corn in the husks: Pull back husks of corn, leaving husks attached at bottom of each ear; discard silk. Return husks to original position; then soak in water 10 min. Grill 15 min. or until corn is tender, turning occasionally. Grilling shucked corn: Discard corn husks and silk. Brush corn with your favorite KRAFT Dressing, such as KRAFT Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing. Grill 8 to 10 min. or until corn is tender, turning and brushing occasionally with additional dressing. Grilling foil-wrapped shucked corn: Discard corn husks and silk. Rinse ears with cold water. Gently shake off excess water, then wrap corn ears individually in foil. Grill 15 to 20 min. or until corn is tender, turning occasionally. You will need to grill 2 medium ears of corn to get the 1 cup kernels needed to prepare this recipe. To remove the kernels from the grilled corn, cool grilled ears slightly. Then, hold each cob firmly at an angle and carefully cut down the ear (away from the body) with sharp knife, several rows at a time.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the grill, and cook 6 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and slice.
• In a large bowl, mix the red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, tomato, cilantro, corn, and black beans. Top with the grilled chicken slices and French fried onions.
• In a small bowl, mix the Ranch dressing and barbeque sauce. Serve on the side as a dipping sauce, or toss with the salad to coat.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: in a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Rinse and drain chickpeas. In a saucepan over med-low heat, simmer chickpeas in BBQ sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, chop the romaine, tomatoes, and green onion. Place in a bowl. Add corn and carrots. Toss to combine.
• When ready to assemble, distribute the salad into bowls, toss with desired amount of dressing, and top with BBQ chickpeas.

Steps:

• Cook and stir chicken in barbecue sauce in medium skillet on medium heat 5 to 6 min. or until chicken is done.
• Toss salad greens with chicken, tomatoes and onions in large bowl.
• Add dressing; mix lightly. Top with cheese.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), brushing with barbecue sauce for the last 2 min.
• Combine salad greens, vegetables and cheese in large bowl. Add dressing; mix lightly.
• Place salad on 4 plates; top each with 1 sliced chicken breast.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Grill chicken 10 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cube.
• In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, celery, red bell pepper, onion, and corn.
• In a small bowl, mix together the barbeque sauce and mayonnaise. Pour over the chicken and veggies. Stir, and chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breast-side down on a board and use scissors to cut down either side of the backbone to remove it (you can use this to make stock). Flip the chicken over and press down firmly on the breastbone using your palms to flatten it.
• Mix the yogurt with the spices, tomato purée, garlic, lemon zest and juice, the honey, vinegar, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Rub this all over the chicken, pushing it into any gaps and under the skin. Put the chicken in an airtight container and chill for 1-2 hrs or up to 24 hrs.
• Arrange the coals on one side of the barbecue and light (or see tip, below, for cooking indoors). When the flames have died down and the coals are ashen, lay the chicken on the opposite side and close the lid with the vents open. Cook for 40 mins, rotating now and then using tongs but keeping the chicken breast-side up over the coals so it cooks from underneath. Close the lid for another 15 mins, checking to make sure it doesn't catch, then flip the chicken over to char, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. When it's just charred, flip it back over. It's ready when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reaches 70C, or the juices from the thigh run clear. Remove the chicken from the barbecue, loosely cover with baking parchment and rest for 15 mins. Carve and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken, let cool, and shred or cut into bite size pieces.
• Combine the chicken, red onion, cucumber, garlic, and ranch dressing in a large bowl. Season with pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Mix all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, and pour over the salad. Toss to coat, and chill 1 hour before serving. You can serve this over some shredded lettuce, if desired.
