OK, so I had a long day at work and I had not thought about dinner at all today... stopped by the grocery store and picked up some chicken breasts... and then needed to make a healthy but filling meal...
Mexican Chopped Salad
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sauteed in pan with a little olive oil (sprinkled with homemade taco seasoning)
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
Head of leaf lettuce, rinsed and chopped
1/2 small red onion, chopped
Red and yellow bell pepper slices
Fresh Avocado Chunks
Chopped Cilantro
Grated Pepper Jack Cheese
Chop the chicken into nice bite sized pieces. Throw the drained corn in the saute pan that you cooked the chicken in and sprinkle with taco seasoning... Keep corn moving around until dark and caramelized.
Get a big ole bowl and put in the lettuce, onion, black beans, peppers, cilantro and bell pepper slices.
Toss in the chicken and corn...
Divide into serving bowls and top with grated cheese, avocado and your favorite lite dressing... ( I use a French Dressing that is cut with some Olive oil... it is tangy and delicious!
You can garnish with a few tortilla chips for some extra crunch...
I should have taken a picture!!! But we ate this up SO fast tonight... I am stuffed.. but it was all good, fresh ingredients and the chicken was organic! You really don't even have to use the tortilla chips but I am a sucker for something crunchy in my salad...
Hope that you all enjoy this! Would be awesome with a skinny margarita and a squeeze of lime!
