We all love a good salad, but hate when they end up taking like 20 different ingredients to prepare. That’s what this baked bbq chicken and avocado salad is the best. It tastes so good and comes together with 6 simple ingredients!
This easy baked chicken and avocado salad is one the whole family will love.
What ingredients do you need for a bbq chicken and avocado salad?
- Chicken breasts
- BBQ sauce
- Avocado
- Romaine/coleslaw lettuce mix
- Tortilla strips
- Ranch dressing
To make the chicken for this salad, simply put bbq sauce on chicken breasts and bake them while getting the other salad ingredients ready. You can just pick your favorite bbq sauce and use that on the chicken. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy!
If you prefer a homemade sauce, try this delicious bbq sauce, otherwise stick with a classic store-bought option.
What are some time-saving tips when making this salad?
- You could just pick up a rotisserie chicken and brush some bbq sauce on it if you don’t have time to bake your chicken
- Buy pre-cut greens – the bag we like to use is called “fancy greens” – yup, that’s the actual name on the bag. It includes pre-cut romaine lettuce and a coleslaw mix and has tons of carrots, which is great!
- You could also use a bag of romaine and then a bag of coleslaw and mix them together.
This baked bbq chicken and avocado salad could also be made into a sandwich or wrap. Taking the same salad ingredients and simply putting them in a tortilla is a great way to get kids to enjoy the same food that you’re eating!
