Ingredients

BBQ Chicken

  • 1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup homemade or storebought barbecue sauce
  • 3 ears corn, husks and silk removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Caprese Salad

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves

Creamy BBQ Dressing

  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

BBQ Chicken

  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and spread both sides of each thigh with a little bit of sauce (reserve 1/4 cup of sauce for grilling)
  • Grill chicken on a medium-high grill, turning once and brushing with additional sauce while cooking until chicken registers 160F. Transfer to a cutting board to cool. Once cooled, cut into cubes
  • Brush corn with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat until corn is slightly charred. Cool then cut corn kernels off the cob.

Caprese Salad

  • In a large serving bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, basil, BBQ chicken, and corn. Set aside while you prepare the dressing.

Creamy BBQ Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
