~ BLACKENED CHICKEN / SOUTHWESTERN SALAD ~
This salad takes a little prep time, but is so worth it. This is my version of a salad I had at a restaurant we frequent often. I was so happy with it, that I wanted to see how close I could come to the same salad, and I was spot on. DELICIOUS! If you like salads and blackened chicken, you will love this salad. So good!

[email protected]I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used a mild chili powder in the blackened chicken seasoning. It was still very flavorful without being too spicy.
