This Grilled Chicken and Bacon Salad with Ranch Dressing is a perfect low-carb and keto-friendly dish that is both delicious and healthy. The juicy grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies are tossed together with a creamy homemade ranch dressing for a mouth-watering dish that your family and friends will love.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup of homemade ranch dressing
- Salt and black pepper to taste
To start, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is resting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain the excess fat.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped red onion. Add the sliced chicken and crumbled bacon on top.
Drizzle the homemade ranch dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately and enjoy!
