Satisfy your craving for barbeque with this Keto BBQ Chicken Salad Recipe while using up leftovers in the fridge! Sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, sharp cheddar, garlicky pickles, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, and homemade keto croutons make this salad a winner.
Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and cool slightly.
Stir together the chicken or turkey and BBQ sauce in a small bowl.
To arrange the salads, add the lettuce to the bottom of a large salad bowl. Place the bacon, bbq chicken, cheese, avocado, onion, tomato, pickles, and croutons (if using) on top.
Serve along with ranch dressing.
