BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad (in the Crockpot!)

Hey y’all! The weather’s finally getting warmer and that means it’s salad season! But what to do when you’re stuck at work or too busy to cook? Let the Crockpot cook for you! I’ll show you how with this easy BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad. It’s healthy and delicious! And did I mention EASY?

Start off with 1-1/2 pound of chicken breasts and about half a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. I also added garlic powder and a little smoked paprika. If you’re starting with frozen chicken, cook on low for 6-8 hours. If they’re thawed, they should only take 4-6 hours. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.

Let them simmer away in the Crockpot all day while you’re busy with life! Shred the chicken with two forks and let it soak up all that wonderful BBQ goodness.

Gather your salad toppings. My kids love the toppings more than the actual salad so I make sure to have a good mixture of veggies and proteins. I used cucumber, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, crumbled bacon (store bought to save time!) and shredded cheese.

Layer your toppings with the shredded chicken on a bed of mixed greens. How pretty is that? You can use extra BBQ sauce as your dressing or your favorite salad dressing. I’m a ranch girl myself! Even better, you can mix a little BBQ sauce in the ranch for an all new salad dressing. YUM!

By letting your Crockpot do the work, you can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes! Serve with a crusty french loaf or even garlic bread and you’re good to go! Enjoy!
