This is a quick dinner salad. I prefer mine with a honey mustard dressing and my husband likes his with ranch dressing. Use the dressing of your choice.

FRIED CHICKEN SALAD



Fried Chicken Salad image

I started making this salad for an easy lunch or dinner years ago after having one something like it at a restaurant named Grady's that is now closed. Adults and kids love it.

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 as meals, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head iceberg lettuce (or favorite)
3 eggs
1 lb of frozen chicken tenders
1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
3 teaspoons of favorite barbecue sauce
crouton
tomatoes (optional)
1 cucumber (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil eggs and let them cool.
  • Bake chicken tenders according to directions on package(I have also used leftover chicken in this).
  • Tear or prepare lettuce as normal.
  • Add cheese, tomato, and cucumber to lettuce.
  • Cut chicken into bite size pieces and put into lettuce mixture.
  • Dice eggs and add into mixture.
  • Mix together ranch dressing and barbeque sauce(I use more than above since we love this dressing) and pour desired amount over salad.
  • I do individual salads with this instead of mixing all together. The chicken tends to sink to the bottom.
  • You can add whatever other veggies you want to it but my kids won't eat onions, peppers, etc so I skip them.
