Southwest Chicken Salad

Southwest Chicken Salad

Southwest Chicken Marinade

4 chicken breasts, thawed
Mix together in bowl:
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Add the chicken to the bowl, and marinade at least 2 hours or all day. Broil on high in your oven on a cookie sheet with tinfoil on it (about 10-12 minutes each side) until no longer pink or Grill outside. Cut into strips and serve over salad.

Southwest Ranch Salad Dressing:

2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
1 8oz block softened cream cheese
1 t. garlic salt
1 t. onion salt
1 t. accent
1 t. course pepper
2 Tablespoons Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (comes in a can by green chilies at most stores)
2 Tablespoons lime juice
Few Dashes of Paprika
Large handful fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon honey

Mix all in a blender until well blended.
(Or…if you wanna make it easier use a Ranch Packet and prepare as directed on the package, and then add the last 5 ingredients: chipotle peppers, lime juice, paprika, cilantro, honey) It may be a little runnier, but still good.

Toppings:
Lettuce, chopped
Black Beans
Red onions
Avocado
Chopped Tomato
Tortilla Strips
Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
Red Pepper, sliced
Cucumber
