Seasoned with chili powder and cumin, chicken strips are blackened, combined with salsa and served over salad greens to make a quick warm salad with kicked-up flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 3/4 each skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup Pace® Chunky Salsa
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 7 ounces (1 bag) mixed salad greens

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Ingredient Note: We develop our recipes using a 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer- just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.
  • Step 1

    Stir the chili powder and cumin in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.

  • Step 2

    Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 15 minutes or until well browned and cooked through, stirring often. Remove the chicken from the skillet, cover and keep warm.

  • Step 3

    Stir the salsa and water in the skillet and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Divide the greens among 6 plates. Top with the chicken and the salsa mixture.
