Indulge in a Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with crispy bacon, juicy chicken, and tangy ranch. Perfect comfort in a big, beautiful bowl!
Ingredients
- • Chicken breasts: 2, boneless and skinless
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Buffalo sauce: 1/2 cup
- • Bacon: 8 slices, cooked until crispy
- • Romaine lettuce: 1 head, chopped
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Red onion: 1/2, thinly sliced
- • Avocado: 1, diced
- • Blue cheese crumbles: 1/2 cup
- • Ranch dressing: 1/2 cup
- • Salt and black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 2 Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 3 Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the buffalo sauce over low heat. Once the chicken is sliced, toss it in the buffalo sauce until well coated.
- 4 In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and diced avocado. Toss gently to mix.
- 5 Arrange the buffalo chicken slices on top of the salad, followed by the crispy bacon pieces and blue cheese crumbles.
- 6 Drizzle the ranch dressing generously over the entire salad. Serve immediately, allowing each guest to toss their portion to combine all the flavors.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch Big Beautiful Salad pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty garlic bread or soft pretzels for an extra indulgent experience. Consider serving it with a refreshing beverage like a crisp, cold cider or a light beer to complement the spicy buffalo sauce. For a non-alcoholic option, iced tea with a hint of lemon will balance the richness of the salad beautifully.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the chicken, bacon, and dressing apart from the greens to maintain their texture. Reheat the chicken gently in the microwave before serving, and toss the salad fresh with dressing when ready to enjoy.
