Serves: 4–6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Turn your grill night into a salad masterpiece. Our Billionaire BBQ Seasoning caramelizes perfectly on the grill, making this the most flavorful chicken salad you’ve ever tasted. Don’t forget that extra sprinkle on top!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons Clean Monday Meals Billionaire BBQ Seasoning (divided)
- 1/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce (for basting)
- 1 head Romaine or large bag of mixed greens
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup roasted corn (frozen or canned works great)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Ranch dressing (homemade with CMM Ranch Seasoning is best!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken generously on both sides with 1.5 tablespoons of CMM Billionaire BBQ Seasoning.
- Grill the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with BBQ sauce to create a sticky, caramelized char.
- Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the greens, sliced red onion, pinto beans, cannellini beans, roasted corn, and halved tomatoes.
- Add the chopped BBQ chicken to the bowl.
- Drizzle the salad with ranch dressing.
- The Billionaire Finish: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of CMM Billionaire BBQ Seasoning over the top of the dressed salad for an extra punch of smoky flavor.
- Toss gently and serve immediately.
