Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with Colby Jack

We have found that cooking a large batch of chicken before the work week begins is a great way to make packing healthy, Keto friendly lunches more quickly when we need them.  We've also found that cooking our chicken for less time at a higher temperature yields juicier chicken.  McCormick's  has an awesome line of seasonings for meat and we have not been disappointed with any of them.  For this recipe, we used the Molasses Bacon Spice Blend.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with Colby Jack:

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
McCormick Grill Mates Molasses Bacon blend
1 bag of prepared lettuce (we used Trader Joe's Cruciferous Crunch)
4 pieces of bacon, cooked and drained
Ken's Steakhouse Ranch Dressing
Colby Jack Cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Prepare the chicken breasts by sprinkling the Molasses Bacon blend on both sides of the chicken.  Place them in a greased shallow baking dish.

Bake for 25 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, prepare a bed of the Cruciferous blend.  Once the chicken is done, slice into pieces and load onto the salad, topping with crumbled bacon, Ken's Ranch, and Colby Jack.

The Trader Joe's Cruciferous Crunch is fantastic with this recipe!
