BBQ Chicken Salad with Healthy Ranch Dressing

June 16, 2021

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Email Recipe

This BBQ Chicken Salad with Healthy Ranch Dressing is the most perfect summer recipe with a healthy twist. The dressing is incredibly easy to whisk together and the BBQ chicken is even easier. It is great for meal prepping lunches for the week, to take to a picnic or have for a family dinner! Plus, it is made gluten free, thanks to Carrington Farms Crounons!

This post is sponsored by Carrington Farms.

BBQ Chicken Salad

Hello summer! I know that summer does not technically start until late June, but here in Philadelphia it is in the 90s the entire week so I am declaring it summer unofficially official. And when the heat cranks up, que all of the refreshing meals. This week I am meal prepping tons of refreshing recipes including this BBQ chicken salad with healthy ranch dressing for lunch! This salad is not your average salad however: it is full of hearty complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, raw vegetables and even a gluten free crunch thanks to Carrington Farms Crounons!

Okay so I know your next question: What are Crounons?

Carrington Farms Crounons are “Non-Croutons” that are gluten free, dairy free and organic. They are made from crispy, puffed quinoa, which adds to the protein and fiber contain in this salad! For this recipe, I used the Garden Herb flavor but they have 3 other flavors: Butter & Roasted Garlic, Garlic Parmesan and Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt! When it comes to crouton alternatives that are gluten free, these have to be the best I have tried so far. They are unmatched when it comes to crunch, flavor AND not getting soggy when mixed with the other salad ingredients and dressing.

SO… what will I need to make a BBQ Chicken Salad?

  • Shredded BBQ Chicken
  • Mixed Greens/Lettuce
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  • Fresh Corn
  • Cucumber
  • Roasted Chickpeas
  • Pickled or Raw Red Onions
  • Crounons

AND… what will I need to make Healthy Ranch Dressing?

  • Greek Yogurt (or dairy free thick yogurt)
  • Milk of Choice
  • Dried Dill Weed
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Dried Cilantro
  • Dried Parsley
  • Salt & Pepper

How do I make shredded BBQ Chicken?

If you haven’t noticed, I love to use my crockpot for making shredded chicken recipes. It is a set-it-and-forget-it method that has minimal clean up and allows you do other things while it cooks! In a crockpot, you will add half of the BBQ sauce, then the chicken breasts, then the remaining BBQ sauce. You will want to make sure they are all completely covered and you should be good! Set it on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. Once the time is up, take two forks and shred the chicken. You will notice there is excess liquid but this is good! After shredding, you’ll notice that the liquid will start to be absorbed by the chicken. If you have an Instant Pot, you can use that but I do not so I would just use your typical chicken settings! For the BBQ sauce, I used Primal Kitchen, as they are Whole30, gluten free, dairy free and Paleo!

Can I make ranch dressing dairy free?

This recipe is incredibly easy to make dairy free! Since the BBQ chicken, Crounons and remaining salad ingredients are all dairy free, all you would need is to switch out the Greek yogurt. You can use any dairy free thick yogurt but I would not suggest any that are coconut based. If you cannot find a thick dairy free yogurt, just reduce the milk of choice (I used plain almond milk) to get that dressing consistency.

Can I make any substitutions or add more ingredients?

  • BBQ Chicken: Changing this will change the main flavor of the salad, however you can replace with turkey breast or if you are vegan or vegetarian, you can leave out completely. I would suggest adding BBQ sauce to the chickpeas and add black beans for a well balanced dish!
  • Corn: You can leave this out if you wish. As for the kind, you can use canned, fresh off of the cobb, frozen & defrosted or even charred corn!
  • Pickled Onions: either pickled or raw red onions will work! I personally do not digest raw red onion well so I chose pickled.
  • Roasted Chickpeas: these can be left out of the recipe or you can replace with rinsed chickpeas from the can.
  • Sweet Potatoes: if you looking for something lower in carbohydrates, you can leave these out. You could also leave these out and turn it into a BBQ chicken sandwich or wrap!
  • Ranch Dressing: You can use a store bought ranch if you would like or make a simple olive oil, lemon and pepper dressing!

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce I used Primal Kitchen (gluten free, Whole30, paleo)

Salad

  • 8 cups mixed greens or lettuce
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/2 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes diced and roasted
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup pickled onions sub raw red onions, sliced

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp dried cilantro
  • 1 dash salt and pepper

Instructions
 

BBQ Chicken

  • Add 1/2 the BBQ sauce into a crockpot, then the chicken breasts and the remaining BBQ sauce on top. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours
  • Once the chicken is cooked, take two forks to shred the chicken and mix with the remaining liquid. Let sit for 10 more minutes to soak up the remaining juice.

Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Peel the sweet potato and dice into cubes. Coat with Carrington Farms Avocado Oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast at 400°F for 45 minutes, flipping halfway. Let cool before adding to salad

Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens/lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrots, corn, pickled onions, roasted chickpeas, sweet potatoes and Carrington Farms Crounons. Mix well and store until ready to eat. You will add the chicken and dressing when time to eat!

Healthy Ranch Dressing

  • Add the Greek yogurt, milk of choice, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, dried cilantro, dried parsley, salt and pepper into a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and add water to get desired consistency.

Notes

  1. You can use rinsed chickpeas in place of roasted chickpeas. If you want to roast them, coat in the same avocado oil, salt and pepper as the sweet potatoes and put in the oven alongside of them.
  2. See blog post for full list of substitutions 
  3. Feel free to half this recipe or double it!
  4. Make sure you store the chicken and dressing separate from the salad so that it does not get soggy.

Dear Women,
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to be strong, fast, driven, and sweaty.
You are allowed to chase goals that scare you.
You are allowed to feel good, not run down.

And you are allowed to do all of that in pink and colors and glitter and bows and everything feminine AF while doing hard things. 💓

Obsessed with this era of women showing their femininity + strength simultaneously. It’s something I struggled with for so long, as I wanted people to take me seriously and why would they if I was girly? Or that I couldn’t be girly if I had muscles… This change in attitude is so empowering 

This is your reminder: strength looks good on you.
Keep going. 💪🏽🫶

BROAD ST WEEK 🤗⚡️ here are 5 things I’m doing to keep my body fresh but ready to go this week! 👇

1. TAPER: first race and trying to figure out what that is? simply, we are lessening intensity to avoid muscle fatigue! This means yes less workouts but more so, not hitting it hard on runs or workouts. Saturday is also a great day to do a little shakeout to keep blood flow in the body and to shake nerves!
2. NUTRITION: stick with foods that are your friend this week and that you know make you feel good, especially carbs! nerves sometimes can creep up and hit your stomach, so maybe you opt for things that are less fibrous. remember: fueled bodies are STRONG bodies! 
3. HYDRATION: and no, not just the day before 🙂 start now so you aren’t overloading it Saturday and up all night peeing 😅
4. TEST: make sure you have tested out the clothes you are wearing, shoes you’ll be running in and pre-race fuel! I’m running in new shoes so I ran in them this weekend to make sure they felt good! and lay it all out the night before - it will make you excited but also relieve some early morning wake up nerves
5. PLAN: when you go to pick up your bib, make sure you have all you need or ask questions if you are unsure on anything. have a plan for getting to the race (we all know that can be a tough one for this race specifically!) 

BONUS: the best thing someone ever told me is that sometimes nerves are actually excitement and we can’t tell the difference. be excited to go out there, experience it all and have some fun ☺️

SEE YOU THERE PHILLY 🏃‍♀️🌆

Sometimes I feel like these kind of recipes aren’t “post-able” until I realize half of us just truly need meals that make us feel good and can add to a weekly rotation ✌️

1. If you have an air fryer like mine and don’t have these liners, you need them. ASAP because the clean up is so easy 
2. Mix and match your favorite veggies, nothing is set in stone. Make it your own! My personal favorite :)

dEATS 👉 Air Fried Salmon Dinner

Base: rice in a rice cooker :)

Salmon: marinated in soy sauce, miso paste, ginger and umami seasoning (I honestly did this for 5 minutes but you can do longer if you have time. Still turns out delish). Add to the air fryer and air fry at 400 for 11-12 minutes (depending on size of fillets, these are about 4-5oz)

Veggies: 3/4 bag of Trader Joe’s cruciferous crunch mix, 2 mini cucumbers, 1-2 tbsp miso paste, soy sauce, small drizzle of rice vinegar & hefty spoonful of crunchy chili oil

Topped with sesame seeds and sriracha!

It’s the answer we all hate to hear right 🤔 because at the end of the day we all have 3 big differences 👇

1. Our body composition: between our DNA, biomarkers, height, weight, body composition, age, imbalances, strengths and weaknesses in muscles, etc
2. Goals: there are SO many different goals to have and even if you have similar goals to someone else, you may have a different starting point and…
3. Lifestyles: between jobs, family, friends, life situations or even how you best operate (are you an early bird or hit the gym late?)

So when your favorite influencer shares the biggest thing that made a difference in their health and it didn’t work for you… you are not a lost cause or a failure. You quite literally are not them 🤗

Those are just 3 but they are big ones that are important to acknowledge so that you can create healthy habits that will work for YOU

Have no idea where to get started? DM me and let’s chat about how you can set yourself up for success to make you feel like the most confident and strong self ⚡️

gloomy but fun 12 miles! ☁️ I swear running with someone to chat the whole time with makes it flyyyyyyy by 🏃‍♀️

It’s so fun to see growth - this run felt so good and easy which honestly shocked me! 2 years ago I decided I wanted to start running longer distances - at that point I hadn’t really been running much anymore. I occasionally did classes with treads & maybe 1 or 2 runs outside a month. I signed up for the Love Run and remember being so scared to do my 8 mile long run and here we are today!! 🤩 2 years but I have learned SO much since then

⭐️Pre-run: sourdough, PB, blueberries & honey with @bpnsupps GM1 sport (carbs + electrolytes) 
⭐️During: 2 gels in @lskd.usa running belt (my fav)
⭐️Post: protein packed smoothie to help recover the muscles 

Fuel good. Feel good 🌞

*what if* you made one small change this week and consistency hit it week to week instead of overhauling your entire lifestyle? Even the *smallest* thing counts

I get it 👉 sometimes seeing others where you want to be can so defeating and it’s overwhelming to think of ALL the things you want to change

I feel that in SO many ways too! but we stay on our own path to feel our best week to week

the answer nobody wants to actually hear is that when you see others doing something you want to do or being where you want to be, it took them time & dedication doing the same things over & over & over & over again. 

the hard truth is that 
✅ the basics work
❎ we don’t need to change up what you are doing week to week or even every month
✅ repetition is key 
❎ quick fixes only lead to more frustration
✅ starting scared is better than waiting for motivation 
❎ you don’t have to figure it out yourself or all in one day 

want to start but have no idea and the thought of adding one more thing to your plate overwhelms you? send me a DM to chat! I work with busy individuals who are ultra successful in life but reach out to a coach to help them get where they want health wise 💪
