Preparation

  • Pound the chicken until uniform ½-inch thickness, cut into 2-inch pieces, and marinate with oil, salt, and 1 cup BBQ sauce for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
  • For the Herby Ranch Dressing, blend oil and egg until thick, then add coconut milk, lemon, vinegar, salt, onion powder, garlic, dill, parsley, and black pepper and refrigerate.
  • Grill the corn and chicken skewers until cooked, about 10-12 minutes for corn and 3-4 minutes per side for chicken.
  • In a bowl, combine lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, and basil, toss with desired dressing.
  • Cut corn from cobs, add to salad, and top with diced avocado and grilled chicken skewers before serving.
