Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients, and you’re halfway to a meal that’s bound to become a family favorite. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or your preferred dressing)
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

If you don’t have smoked paprika, regular paprika will do the trick. And if cheddar isn’t your cheese of choice, feel free to sub in some feta or mozzarella.

Instructions

Ready to bring this dish to life? Follow these steps, and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers.
  3. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Remember, the smell of grilling chicken is one of life’s simple joys!
  4. While the chicken is grilling, prepare your salad. In a large salad bowl, toss together the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
  5. Once the skewers are done, allow them to rest for a few minutes. This gives you a moment to catch your breath and enjoy a sip of your favorite drink.
  6. Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on top of the salad, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  7. Serve immediately, and watch as your family devours every last bite!

From my kitchen to yours, this salad is a reminder that a little love goes a long way in cooking.
