Healthy Ranch Chicken Salad

A delicious and refreshing salad loaded with chicken and made with healthy homemade ranch dressing.

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb Chicken Breast cut into small bite-sized pieces

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

4 Cups Packed Greens of choice

¼ Small Red Onion sliced

¾ Cup Cherry or grape tomatoes halved

½ English Cucumber sliced or chopped

1 Avocado sliced

⅓ Cup Corn Fresh or canned

Homemade Ranch Dressing:

1 Cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt

2-3 Cloves Garlic minced

2 Tsp Lemon Juice

2 Tbsp Onion finely chopped

1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

2 Tbsp Fresh chives finely chopped

1 Tbsp Fresh parsley finely chopped

1 Tbsp Fresh dill finely chopped

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Start with making the homemade ranch dressing. Add all the ingredients to a small jar, place the lid on, then shake to emulsify.

Pour about 1/3 of the dressing over the chicken and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Refrigerate the remaining dressing until ready to use.

Next, heat oil in a large non-stick pan, and add in the chicken in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through about 5-7 minutes.

To assemble the salad, add green to a large bowl. Top with remaining ingredients. Just before serving toss with the dressing and enjoy!
