Southwestern Chopped Chicken Salad

This is a re-creation of a salad that my boyfriend and I used to order at a local place where we went to college. They served this in a huge bowl with a big slice of cornbread on the side -- so delicious I can taste it already. Plus, if you have had enough chicken you can substitute any kind of meat (or no meat) you want.

• 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce


• 1 can white beans, drained


• 1 can whole kernel corn, drained


• 1/4 cup chopped red onion


• 1 chicken breast (about 1/2 lb.)


• Your favorite poultry seasoning (and salt and pepper)


• Handful of tortilla strips

Dressing:

• 1/4 cup ranch


• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Season chicken breast with favorite seasoning and grill until cooked thoroughly. Cut up into bite-size pieces.

Mix together BBQ sauce and ranch dressing.

In a large bowl, combine lettuce, beans, corn, onion, and chicken. Toss with dressing. Add tortilla strips on top. Serve immediately.
