Chicken Avocado Salad with a chunky salsa dressing (a weekly staple in our home)
Serves 4
Ingredients
- One head of iceberg lettuce
- One can of black beans
- One can of corn kernels
- 2 avocados
- 2 cups of chunky salsa (mild, medium or hot)
- Four boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning
Directions
- Wash and dry the lettuce before ripping it into bite size pieces. Then distribute evenly between your four serving dishes.
- Rinse and drain the black beans before dividing them evenly between the four salads.
- Rinse and drain the corn kernels before distributing them evenly between the four salads.
- Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and pit. Then take paring knife and cut the flesh of each avocado half into ½ inch cubes. Using a spoon to scoop out the flesh, distribute the cubes from one half of an avocado to each salad.
- Top each salad with half a cup of salsa (or more if desired!)
- Dice the four chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and transfer the cubes to a non-stick frying pan.
- Add the taco seasoning and mix to evenly coat the chicken in seasoning. Then cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through.
- Distribute the chicken evenly between the four salads, and serve while the chicken is still warm.
