Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast (2 pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Big Jr’s Chicken Rub
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup Big Jr’s Buttz Sauce
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ¾ cup grilled corn kernels
  • ¾ cup black beans
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup crushed tortilla chips
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
Instructions:

  1. Place one of the chicken pieces between two plastic sheets or in a large plastic bag. Use a meat tenderizer to flatten to an even thickness, about ½-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining piece. Evenly season both sides of each piece with Big Jrs Chicken Rub.

  2. Grill or cook chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF on a meat thermometer. Let rest for 10 m minutes. Once cool enough, cut the chicken into slices or cubes.

  3. In a bowl, combine Big Jr’s Buttz Sauce and ranch dressing. Add romaine lettuce to a large bowl and ¼ cup of dressing. Toss to combine.

  4. Add tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, red onion, and chicken. Serve with remaining dressing on the side. If desired, drizzle extra Big Jr’s Buttz Sauce and ranch on top.
