Preparation

  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat
  2. Season chicken with BBQ Chicken & Rib Rub. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on one side, about 3 - 4 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over to begin cooking the other side for 3 - 4 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing. Add all of the dressing ingredients (the cottage cheese, dip mix, mayo or greek yogurt, and lemon juice) to a blender. Blend the dressing until it's smooth and creamy.
  4. Prepare the salad -  Add romaine lettuce to the bowl. Then add corn, black beans, tomatoes and tortilla chips (if using).
  5. Add the cooked chicken to the salad, pour the dressing on top, then toss to fully combine.
  6. Serve salad immediately and enjoy! Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
