How To Make ~ my southwestern chicken salad ~
-
1For chicken preparation Mix the spices in a small bowl. Set aside. In a large skillet over med - high heat, add 1 - 2 tbsp oil. Add chicken strips and cook until browning and no longer pink in center, turning to brown evenly. Add water and seasoning and cook for about 5 minutes - tossing to coat chicken evenly in seasoning. Cool and bag for future use unless using all now for salads. I usually use 1/2 breast per salad.
-
2For salad Plate lettuce, add corn, beans, cheese, onion, tomato, chicken strips, olives and tortilla crumbles. Salt & pepper if desired.
-
3Dressing - for 1 portion - in a small bowl, measure out 3 tablespoon ranch dressing and desired amount of taco seasoning. Mix and serve with salad.

4Enjoy!
