Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup Italian-style salad dressing
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 head romaine lettuce, rinsed and dried
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar and Monterey cheese blend
5 (6 inch) flour tortillas
½ cup ranch-style salad dressing
½ cup salsa

Steps:

  • In a gallon size plastic bag or 9x9 baking dish, mix together the mayonnaise and Italian dressing. Place chicken in mixture and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Chop, wash, and dry the iceberg and romaine lettuce. Mix and divide among four dinner-size plates. Divide and place the tomato and green onions among the plates. Sprinkle the top of each salad with shredded cheese.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and grill or broil until cooked. While chicken is cooking, cut tortillas into three thick strips and cut each strip into 'matchsticks'. Place on a cookie sheet and put under broiler until golden brown. Let cool. Cut the chicken into strips and divide among plates. Top with tortilla 'crispies'.
  • To prepare the dressing, combine the salsa and ranch dressing in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour over each salad.

This chicken salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet and tangy dressing, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

This chicken salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.

This chicken salad is amazing! I love the smoky flavor of the roasted poblano peppers. I also added a little bit of extra cumin and chili powder, and it really kicked up the flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm so glad I did! The flavors are so well-balanced, and the mayonnaise isn't overpowering at all. I'll definitely be making this again.
