Have you ever found a BBQ sauce that you can’t get enough of? I’m crazy over the BBQ Ranch from Primal Kitchen. It has the BBQ flavor with a classic ranch creaminess. Made with avocado oil, Paleo Friendly and Keto Certified. It’s the perfect addition to my BBQ Ranch Chickpea Salad.

I’m kind of a salad snob and I love making large extravagant salads for Zach and I. I’m also a huge chickpea lover and I use them in place of chicken all the time in my salads. Like on my Vegan Caesar Salad with Spicy Roasted Chickpeas. That one is one of my favorite salads to make.

I love making this BBQ Ranch Chickpea Salad for a quick dinner or easy lunch. My husband and I both work from home and have a toddler running around most days. Something quick and healthy is our jam. Let me show you how simple it is to make this yummy and healthy meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white quinoa, uncooked
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 can chickpeas, washed and drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • Avocado, for serving
  • ¼ cup Primal Foods BBQ Ranch + more for serving

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. To prepare the Roasted Chickpeas, toss the chickpeas with bbq ranch sauce in a bowl, then pour them into a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange them into a single layer, then bake for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Add quinoa, water and pinch of salt to a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.

Step 3: To assemble the salad, add quinoa to a bowl and top with bbq ranch chickpeas, red bell pepper, avocado. Add more bbq ranch if you prefer.

#AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Gree #AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Greek Yogurt for numerous recipes on my blog. One of my all-time favorite recipes is this greek chicken! It's so easy to whip up, and Chobani® Greek Yogurt is the star of the dish. I like to use their plain yogurt to make the chicken marinade and also in my simple tzatziki sauce. Did you know that you can now earn on Ibotta with your purchase of Chobani® Greek Yogurt? Find it at @walmart!

Recipe:
Greek Chicken
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Chobani® Non-Fat Plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp fresh or dried dill
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions:
In a large bowl, add minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Chobani® Greek Yogurt, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Add chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinade for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Remove most of the marinade from the chicken before adding it to the skillet, or else it will burn.
Add chicken in an even layer to the skillet, leave some space between the chicken pieces so they'll brown rather than steam. You may need to work in batches depending on how big your skillet is.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes and then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through (165°F).
Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
Serve chicken over rice with a dollop (or two) of tzatziki sauce, diced red onion, fresh dill, and a lemon wedge.
Also find the full recipe for Greek Chicken  on the blog at www.saltandsprinkles.com. #Chobani
