Chicken Taco Salad

Looking for something for dinner tonight? Here ya go! The other night we had family dinner at the Bird Drop Inn......aka Mom's House. It was some mighty fine grub!



Ingredients


Chicken

Lawry's Chicken Taco Seasoning

Green Chili's



How to Prepare

Put Chicken Breasts in Crock Pot and Sprinkle with one package of Taco Seasoning and dump in can of Diced Green Chili's. If Chicken is frozen than cook for 8 hours and if not cook for 5 to 6 hours. The chicken will fall apart. But don't stop here. There are some GREAT tips that follow that really make this salad SPECTACULAR!




Starting with MANGO SALSA!


Ingredients


1 Mango (peeled and diced)

1 cup diced pineapple

1 small peach or nectarine (peeled and diced)

1 diced Red Bell Pepper

1 4 1/2 oz can Chopped Green Chili's

1/4 C. Chopped Green Onion

1 Tbsp. Lime Juice

1/8 tsp. Ground Ginger

1 Tbsp Chopped Cilantro


Mix Well and Chill


BUT THAT's NOT ALL!

At most supermarkets you can find in the frozen food section a frozen mixture of veggies which include Black Beans/Green Peppers/Red Peppers/Corn/Onion. Just thaw this in the fridge and add to your salad.


BUT THAT's NOT ALL!




Go to Fresh and Easy......buy 1 bottle of their Creamy Cilantro Dressing and 1 can of Herdez Salsa Verde (tomatillo salsa). Mix these together for a smashing dressing that will send your taste buds into OVERDRIVE!!

FINALLY


Serve all of this on a bed of lettuce with some shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes and AVOCADO'S are a must! Go get some of those My Nanas tortilla strips for your salad also! They have them at every store!

  1. I have dreamed of this dinner at mom's since Sunday. It was divine! Delish! Incredible! And wouldn't you know it, my kids requested it for dinner on Monday. So guess what? It is now in my monthly dinner menu plan. Thank you for thinking of something to do with nbfc! And my taste buds thank you for the on going dodge of "burned on the outside, frozen in the middle" BBQ. I love eating your food!
