Creating the BBQ Ranch Chicken Bowl involves some straightforward steps. Follow this guide to ensure a successful and tasty outcome:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
3. Shred the Chicken: Once cooled, shred the cooked chicken using two forks or your hands for easy assembly later.
4. Mix BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
5. Prepare Base: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
6. Add Toppings: Distribute the corn, black beans, and cherry tomatoes evenly over each bowl.
7. Layer Chicken: Spoon generous amounts of the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the toppings in each bowl.
8. Drizzle Ranch Dressing: Drizzle ranch dressing generously over the chicken and toppings.
9. Sprinkle Cheese: Add shredded cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly with the warmth of the chicken.
10. Garnish: Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro if desired.
