Description
Meal prepping has become a game-changer for busy weekdays, and one dish that’s perfect for this purpose is the delectable BLT Chicken Salad. This creamy, crunchy, and flavor-packed salad combines the classic BLT flavors with juicy rotisserie chicken, making it a versatile option for quick lunches or satisfying dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 pieces of center-cut bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or replace with mayonnaise entirely)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/3 cup diced green onions
- 2/3 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 diced avocado
Instructions
1. Start by cooking the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels and set it aside to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
3. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, cooked bacon, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado to the bowl with the dressing.
4. Gently toss all the ingredients together until they’re evenly coated in the dressing. For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
To keep the ingredients fresh, store the dressing separately from the salad components and toss them together just before serving. The salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
