| kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste | |
| 3 tablespoons | bbq sauces, or more, to taste |
| 2 | large eggs |
| 6 cups | chopped Romaine lettuce |
| 2 | roma tomatoes, diced |
| 1 | avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced |
| 1 cup | canned corn kernels, drained |
| 1 cup | canned black beans, drained and rinsed |
| 1/2 cup | buttermilk |
| 1/4 cup | plain greek yogurt |
| 1/4 cup | sour cream |
| 1/2 teaspoon | dried dill |

Directions:
To make the buttermilk ranch dressing, whisk together buttermilk, Greek yogurt, sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
In a medium bowl, add chicken and BBQ sauce, and gently toss to combine; set aside.
Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool before peeling and dicing.
To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with arranged rows of bacon, BBQ chicken, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, corn and beans.
Serve immediately with buttermilk ranch dressing.
