Steps:

  • Bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add chicken, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes. Off heat, let chicken (still covered) steam until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from skillet; when cool enough, cut into chunks or shred with 2 forks.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Stir in chicken, celery, onion, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Serve on bread or over greens.

BARBECUE RANCH CHICKEN SALAD

Delicious salad with a southwestern flair! One of my favorites! Just make sure the red onion you use isn't a strong one. Cooking time is refrigeration time.

Steps:

  • Mix all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, and pour over the salad. Toss to coat, and chill 1 hour before serving. You can serve this over some shredded lettuce, if desired.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded
4 celery ribs, washed and sliced thin
1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced into short sticks
1/2 red onion, chopped fine
1 (14 ounce) can corn kernels, drained
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup of your favorite prepared barbecue sauce (I like Jack Daniel's)
1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons light sour cream
