  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
– ¼ cup honey barbeque sauce
– 6 strips of bacon
– 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as romaine, spinach, and arugula)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ½ cucumber, sliced
– ½ red onion, thinly sliced
– ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: avocado slices, nuts, or croutons


Instructions

Creating the Honey Barbeque Glazed Chicken Bacon Salad is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
2. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the two boneless chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
3. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, pour honey barbeque sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and sticky. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
4. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
5. Add Chicken and Bacon: Top the salad with the sliced chicken and crispy bacon pieces.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the salad.
7. Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the salad, adding more honey barbeque sauce if desired. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
8. Season: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve: Plate the salad in serving bowls, adding optional toppings like avocado slices, nuts, or croutons for extra flavor and texture.

By following these steps, you will have a vibrant and flavor-packed salad that everyone will enjoy!
