Aimee’s Recipe Notes

Smiling woman with brown hair in a floral blouse standing in a bright kitchen.

Some days I crave a salad that actually feels like a meal, not just a bowl of lettuce that leaves me hungry 20 minutes later.

This Chicken salad recipe is on repeat at my house, especially when we have leftover grilled chicken!

It’s also super easy to customize based on what you have in the house. Enjoy!

This Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad recipe is loaded with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, fresh avocado and tossed with ranch dressing. Hearty and delicious.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 6 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 pound grilled chicken, see notes
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup ranch dressing

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, add romaine, tomatoes, onion, and avocado.
  • Top with cooked chicken and bacon. Drizzle with ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

  • I love using my blackened chicken tenders for today’s salad. You could also use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken.
  • If not serving this salad immediately, keep individual ingredients stored separately and assemble before serving.
  • Swap romaine for a combination of spinach and spring mix. Add in chopped peppers for extra crunch.
