Salsa Chicken Taco Salad

This is a delicious dinner idea when you need to be quick and out the door. You can prep your chicken the night before and shred your cheese and even cut up your veggies the night before too.


Salsa Chicken Taco Salad

Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken (pulled apart and cut up)
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce
1/2 red pepper and 1/2 green pepper
1 tomato
1 jar of salsa
1 cup of light shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream, Kalamata olives, jalapenos to garnish

Directions:


Put your cut up cooked chicken in a large frying pan and add 1/2 cup of salsa and mix it all around to cover the chicken, add about 1/3 cup of water, let simmer on medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is evenly coated.
Place about 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese over the chicken mixture and cover with a lid until the cheese melts.

In the meantime, cut up your vegetables and place them in your serving bowls/plates. You could use whatever veggies you enjoy.

Add the cooked chicken and melted cheese on top of your salad.

Garnish with a bit more shredded cheese, some light sour cream, salsa and kalamata oilves.

Add some tortilla chips or brown rice crisps around your salad and you are done!

Serves about 4-6 people
