This is obviously a pretty basic recipe but sometimes I just like to be told what to do instead of thinking about it.  I really liked combining the bbq sauce with the ranch, too!

BBQ Chicken Salad (and some avocado dressing)

 Recipe from mariescookingadventures.blogspot.com

What you need

For the SALAD

• 3 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 cups BBQ sauce  (1 cup, 1 cup)
• 1/2 cup water
• lettuce (red, romaine, green leaf)
• frozen corn (cooked and chilled)
• 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cucumber (seeded and cubed)
• 2 tomatoes (diced)
• tortilla strips (if desired)
• 1 green onion chopped

For the chicken: place chicken breasts and 1 cup BBQ sauce with 1/2 cup water in the CrockPot. Then, let cook 4-6 hours on LOW and shred for the salad.

For the salad: shred the lettuce, cook the corn, slice the cucumber and tomato, prepare the beans! I put all of the ingredients on a plate for serving, but could leave in bowls of tupperwares. 

BBQ Sauce Dressing 

• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 cup ranch dressing

Simply combine the BBQ and ranch in a bowl and mix (or whisk) until blended. You can use more or less as desired, best results are obtained, in my opinion, from equal parts
