Simple Southwest Chicken Salad Recipe
Quick and easy Southwest Chicken Salad that is packed with flavor the whole family is going to love!
Some days time gets away from me and before I know it, it is dinner time. So I am desperately trying to figure out a balanced meal that I can toss together quickly. I usually have Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken on hand because the chicken is simple to make and full of protein. I also use Italian Dressing due to its robust and zesty flavor. Both of these items help make a flavorful quick meal. That is why I chose to use them in my southwest chicken salad.
Once I had the chicken and dressing, then it is just a matter of grabbing a couple of other ingredients to toss in the salad and we had a delicious meal.
When I first tried this Southwest Chicken Salad, I was unsure if the boys would eat it. They can be picky when it comes to food. I am happy to report that it passed the picky eaters test!
