Ingredients

4 medium-size boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

2 cups red cabbage, chopped

1/2 cup black beans

1 avocado, diced

2 green onions

1/2 cup toasted salted pumpkins seeds

1/2 cup cup Cotija cheese, part skim milk

2 Roma tomatoes, cut in eights for garnish

Salt & Pepper to taste

Optional: Garlic Finely Chopped

Dressing: I took a shortcut this time and bought the Chipotle Lime Ranch Dressing - I provided a picture of the brand that I used. Chipolte peppers and lime juice was added to produce this type of ranch dressing.

Directions

First step is to season the chicken breasts with your favorite brand of Mexican Seasoning then bake in a 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until done. I baste my chicken with chicken broth during the baking to add more flavor. While the chicken breasts are baking, prepare the other ingredients. After the chicken breasts are done, let cool slightly then dice into bit size pieces. Next toss the diced chicken with about a 1/2 cup of the Chipotle Lime Ranch Dressing (or the Ranch Dressing of your choice) to get a nice coatiing of the dressing directly on the chicken.

If you prepared the other ingredients, now it is just a matter of putting it all together, add the dressing and toss.

I really hope you enjoy this one.

Judy hon - this is wonderful! Given my repeated success with your other chicken salad recipe (via Jim) - I will certainly be making this very soon. I love all the salad components and the dressing. I love the cojita, red cabbage and avocado - oh my!

And I agree with Jim - garlic is not an option. Ever. Ha! I love it so much. Great job - and great photo - again. I think I'll share this with the folks at work. Thanks so much! ;-) ~Vickie
