Gluten free salad with crispy chicken
The ultimate crispy chicken salad that is also gluten-free. It's loaded with loads of veggies, so it's more than a light, whispy salad - it's filling and wholesome, too.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups mixed greens chopped
- 1 tomato diced
- 2 tbsp red onion diced
- 1 cup corn
- 2 tbsp Low fat shredded cheddar cheese or dairy free option
- Salt and pepper to taste
For dressing:
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp honey mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the chicken:
- 1 bag gluten-free chicken tenders to save time
- or 1 homemade chicken cutlet
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the sweet potato into wedges. In a bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap too much.
- Air fry the wedges for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until golden brown and tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the chicken cutlet or cook the gluten-free chicken tenders according to the package instructions. Let them cool slightly and then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, corn, and chopped chicken.
- Mix together the bbq sauce, olive oil and honey mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dress salad.
- Top the salad with the cooked sweet potato wedges and any additional toppings you like.
