The biggest challenge for me is getting all the servings of vegetables I need each day.
One night for dinner, I had some BBQ chicken in the crock pot (which is one of my go-to meals when I need dinner in a hurry) and I was trying to think of how I could get all my vegetable servings in one sitting.
I started clearing out all the vegetables in the fridge and decided to turn my BBQ chicken into a salad. It was the perfect way to get my family to eat tons of vegetables AND clear out my fridge before the vegetables went bad.
My kids loved this because everything was chopped into bite-sized pieces and they could pick and choose what they wanted with their chicken!
What dressing would be good on this salad?
Dressings can be tricky. They can make or break a salad. Especially flavors that have bold ingredients and flavors.
For this particular recipe, I would be careful what you pair it with. I personally wouldn’t use a vinaigrette, but something a little more creamy.
Here are some recommendations:
–Barbecue Ranch: I love combining a little bit of barbecue sauce, with some ranch, as a dressing, for this salad. I do two parts ranch, to one part barbecue.
–Blue Cheese: I know blue cheese ranch dressing isn’t for everyone, but I love it with this recipe. If you don’t love blue cheese ranch, you could also use any regular ranch.
–Honey Mustard: I think honey mustard and bbq sauce mix well with this salad. I would definitely find a honey mustard dressing, and not use honey mustard dip.

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 18 ounces BBQ Sauce, 1 bottle
- 12 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 avocado, diced
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

Equipment
Instructions

- Once chicken is cut, assemble your salads. Place about 2 cups of lettuce on the bottom of your plate and top with the vegetables/toppings of your choice. Top salad with your favorite salad dressing (my husband and I love ranch, my dad loves Thousand Island, my mom loves Italian . . . anything goes!).

I love your recipes, sadly, I never seem to have luck with my crock pots. What size the crock pot you use?
Most of us have 6 to 7 quart crock pots.
