Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 2 salads

Ingredients

  • 2 Small Chicken breasts
  • ½ tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 ½ Cups Zucchini sliced (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 Cup Red Pepper sliced (about ½ a large pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 Slices Turkey bacon
  • 4 Cups Lettuce I used an American salad blend
  • ¼ Cup Cilantro roughly chopped
  • ½ An avocado sliced
  • Cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese grated
  • Your favorite Reduced-fat Ranch dressing. *

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium/high heat and cook the chicken breast until it is no longer pink inside, about 4-6 minutes per side.
  • Put it on a plate, cover it, and set it aside to rest.
  • In a large pan, heat the olive oil up on medium/high heat.
  • Add in the sliced zucchini, red pepper, garlic and pinch of salt.
  • Cook until the vegetables are soft and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Place into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the turkey bacon in the vegetable pan until it's nice and crisp, about 1-2 mins per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and blot off any fat.
  • Tear the slices into bite sized pieces.
  • Into the bowl with the cooked vegetables, add the turkey bacon pieces, lettuce and chopped cilantro.
  • Mix until is everything is well combined.
  • Divide the salad between two bowls and top with sliced avocado, cheddar cheese, a chicken breast and as much Ranch dressing as your heart desires!
  • DEVOUR

Notes

*I have also mixed half Ranch dressing and half Greek yogurt, if you want an extra protein boost!
