BBQ Chicken and Ranch Broccoli Salad

Ingredients

4, (6-oz.) raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp no sugar added BBQ seasoning

6 cups broccoli florets

¾ cup reduced-fat Greek yogurt

2 tbsp regular mayo

1 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning (recipe below)

Homemade Ranch Seasoning

2 tbsp dried parsley

1 tbsp dried dill

1 tbsp dried chives

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill.
  2. Pound the chicken to even thickness, and season with the BBQ seasoning.
  3. Grill chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165⁰F, about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
  4. To make the homemade ranch seasoning: in a spice grinder, combine all of the dried herbs and spices and pulse 5 to 7 times to enhance the taste and texture of the seasoning mix. Alternatively, you can mix all of the dried herbs and spices in a bowl. Store in an air-tight container until ready to use.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, yogurt, mayo, and ranch seasoning. Toss well.
  6. Each serving should have 6 ounces cooked chicken and 1½ cups of broccoli salad.
