BBQ Chipotle Sauce

avocado oil

salt

greens

cherry tomatoes

chopped bell pepper

avocado

tbsp ranch (I used primal kitchen ranch)

plantain chips (or other crunchy chip)

green onion

cilantro

Make or buy BBQ chipotle sauce.

Add cubed chicken to a non-stick skillet on medium heat with oil.  Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper as you toss the chicken.  Cook on medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature reaches 165F.

Toss the cooked chicken with 1 cup of BBQ Chipotle Sauce.
