CPK’s Barbecue Chicken Chopped Salad Made Skinny (California Pizza Kitchen)
From: Nancy Fox @ www.skinnykitchen.com/
Most restaurants today offer some kind of barbecue chicken salad. No wonder…It’s delicious. One of the best is California Pizza Kitchen’s Original BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad. Rated #1 among their employees’ personal favorites, it’s amazingly good. It’s also loaded with a ton of calories. Shockingly, CPK’s salad has 1133 calories. I’m sure many of you, like me, have been known to devour one whole salad. For future, I recommend sharing one. Better yet,make this skinny version.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Makes 4 very large main-course salads (about 4 cups per serving)

½ cup The Best Skinny Ranch Dressing (3 ingredients) or your favorite store bought reduced-fat ranch
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped, skinned removed

8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1½ cups jicama, peeled and chopped

1 cup fresh corn, cut off the cob (or frozen and thawed)
1 cup red onion, chopped
¾ cup reduced-fat yellow tortilla chips, crushed
1 lime, cut into 4 pieces, optional
Instructions
1. Prepare the ranch dressing or use a store bought one.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a small bowl, add the chicken and toss with ¼ cup of barbecue sauce.
3. On 4 dinner size plates, place 2 cups lettuce on each.
Divide and place chicken on top of the lettuce.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of remaining barbecue sauce over the top of the chicken on each salad.
Add to each, beans, tomatoes, corn, onions, all around the plate.
