- 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. shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
