Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked chicken breasts (shredded)
- 1 head iceberg lettuce (chopped)
- 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 cups salsa
Instructions
- If you need to cook your chicken, do that now. An easy method is to grill it or bake it at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. Place it on a cutting board and either shred it with two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Divide the chopped lettuce among four bowls or plates. Next, add some chopped red bell pepper and one cup of shredded or cubed chicken to each bowl. Divide the pico de gallo, cilantro, avocado, salsa and desired toppings like plain Greek yogurt, low fat cheese and jalapeño. Then, serve it as is or toss it to combine everything! Finally, add more salsa as needed. Tossing the salad will make a yummy “dressing” as the salsa, pico de gallo and sour cream mix together. Enjoy!
Notes
- Optional toppings: plain Greek yogurt, low fat shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeño
- This recipe would be great with cooked brown rice.
- You can sub grilled shrimp or fish for the shredded chicken.
- Do you have extra grilled veggies in the fridge? This is a great salad to add them to!
