Cooking Steps
- Add vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Core, then cut apple into bite-sized pieces.
- Add apples to the bowl with dressing, then toss to coat. (TIP: Tossing chopped apples in dressing prevents them from turning brown!)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch wide strips. Season with pepper and BBQ Seasoning.
- Reduce heat to medium, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and chicken.
- Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** (TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.)

- Just before serving, toss to combine.
- Divide salad between plates
- Top with chicken, then drizzle ranch dressing over top.
- Using kitchen shears, snip chives over top.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch wide strips, then prepare and cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the chicken breast tenders.
