Noodles & Company Backyard BBQ Chicken Salad Recipe

If you're already missing the Backyard Barbecue Chicken Salad that was available at Noodles & Company this summer, they just posted the recipe on their blog so that you can make it at home!  This recipe serves four as a main dish. (I simplified it a little from their posting.)

Ingredients:

• Bag of mixed lettuce (12 oz)
• Bag of shredded mixed cabbage, red and green (8 pz)
• ¾ cup cole slaw dressing
• 4 chicken breasts - cooked, shredded, cooled
• ½  cup BBQ sauce
• ¾ cup diced tomatoes
• ¾ cup corn

Prepare the chicken:  

• Bake 4 chicken breasts, completely cool and then shred into bite sized pieces(you could substitute a rotisserie chicken from the deli for this part)
• Mix chicken and BBQ sauce

 Assemble salad:

• Mix the lettuce, cabbage (reserve 1/8 cup of cabbage for garnish if desired) and cole slaw dressing in a large bowl
• Place chicken, corn and tomatoes on top of the greens and garnish with remaining cabbage
