Ingredients

  • 6 cups organic, washed lettuce
  • 1 cup homemade organic coleslaw or chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup cheese shreds or slices
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 cup organic plantain chips or Simple Mills crackers
  • 1/4 cup organic sunflower seeds
  • 1 bag Epic bacon bits
  • 9 organic tater tots
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1/4 cup Braggs organic vinaigrette

Homemade Ranch Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Chosen Foods avocado mayo
  • 1 tsp. dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp. organic garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. organic onion powder
  • 1 tsp. chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1-2 T. coconut milk
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a glass container with a lid, place the cut up chicken breasts or tenders and the vinaigrette dressing. Make sure each piece of chicken is coated in the vinaigrette. Marinade the chicken for at least 5 hours or overnight in the fridge.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ranch dressing ingredients. Stir until the dressing is smooth. Add more milk to thin down the dressing to your desired consistency.
  • Preheat a gas grill to 350°F. Lightly spray the grill with non-stick avocado oil cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature while the grill preheats.
  • Grill the chicken breasts or tenders on the grill over medium to low heat (about 350°F). Grill for 10-15 minutes, flipping the chicken half way through. The chicken is done when you cut it and the juices run clear or the internal temperature reads 165°F.
  • While the chicken is grilling, place the tater tots in a toaster oven set to 400°F for 18-20 minutes. Divide the lettuce, coleslaw or carrots, cheese, onion, seeds, and becon bits between four bowls.
  • Once the chicken is done grilling, cut the breasts or tenders into cubes and divide them between the 4 salads. Add the tater tots and crackers or chips as desired.
  • Top with more vinaigrette or homemade ranch dressing. Enjoy your grilled chicken salad bowls!
