Summer grilling is in full swing at our house and fourth of July is just around the corner. It is one of my favorite summer holidays and a perfect time to get together with friends and family. It is always fun to have patriotic bites at the BBQ and a mouthwatering summer salad is always a must. Firing up the BBQ to make this tasty and unforgettable Grilled Berry Feta Chicken Salad with the help of McCormick’s Grill Mates Bacon Chipotle Seasoning is going to add so much flavor it is going to blow you away!
I love having red white and blue colors apart of my fourth of July party. This salad has beautiful and vibrant red, white, and blue with the fresh summer berries and feta cheese. The berries add a sweet element to the salad and create delicious flavor and texture. The chicken adds a hearty protein and the bacon chipotle seasoning is absolutely incredible.
Have you tried McCormick’s line of Grill Mates Seasonings? I am pretty sure they are my hubby’s favorite when it comes to grilling in the backyard. He is the grill master at our house and these are his favorite seasonings to use and his secret ingredient for big and bold flavor. We actually just had a BBQ with friends last week and used all of the different varieties on our burgers and steaks. These grill mate seasonings are a must have at our house!
You guys are going to love all of the unique but delicious flavors in this salad. The sweet chipotle dressing is absolutely fantastic!! It combines fresh raspberries, and chipotle peppers. A little bit of sweet and heat combines in this dressing and is the perfect finishing touch.
This will be one of the best salads that you try and perfect for a summertime BBQ. The bacon chipotle seasoning makes it so easy to quickly add flavor to your dish and is so great to have on hand. I know that you are going to love them just as much as we did!
If you are looking for some delicious sides for your 4th of July BBQ you will love these Baked Beans with Bacon or Grilled and Loaded Smashed Potatoes. Be sure to finish of the evening with a delicious no bake treat like Firework Poke Cake or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stars.
I hope that you all have a wonderful fourth of July filled with good food and friends!

- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad
- 3 large chicken breasts
- McCormick Bacon Chipotle Seasoning Mix
- 6-7 ounces (about 6-7 cups) mixed greens lettuce
- 2 cups sliced strawberries sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup blackberries

- Start by preparing the dressing. Heat up the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Add chipotles and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the raspberries and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir. Add the sugar and salt and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened and reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool entirely.

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, pat dry with paper towel, and then sprinkle the seasoning mix generously onto the breasts. Rub the mix all over the chicken making sure it is completely covered. Grill the chicken 5-8 minutes per side or until the chicken registers 160 degrees Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
- In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, crumbled cooked bacon, and feta cheese. Add the chicken strips.

This recipe sounds wonderful and I would like to try it. Looks like Bacon Chipotle seasoning has been discontinued, is there another seasoning you would suggest?
Thank you.
Oh no! You can try using regular Chipotle seasoning instead.

This looks delicious! What kind of raspberry vinegar did you use?
I used a store bought brand. I do love Girard’s or even Newman’s Own vinegar.
Super easy..simple ingredients tastes amazing!
Made this for a brunch, it was absolutely delicious. Definitely making this again.
This salad is absolutely delicious! For the salad dressing I cut the sugar in half, which gave it a slight tartness which we enjoyed. Added some slivered almonds. The chicken is a little spicy. The flavours worked very well together. Definitely a do again especially for summer!
That sounds great! I am so glad that you made it best to your liking and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
Totally comfort food. Yum!
