  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Salad

  • 2 heads of romaine lettuce, washed and chopped (or you can grab 212 oz. bags of romaine)
  • 1 can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 recipe of Easy Creamy Salsa Dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Mix the seasonings together in a small bowl, then season both side of the chicken.
  3. Drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time.
  4. Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool while you assemble the salad.
  5. You can either assemble the salad in a large bowl with all of the toppings, toss with the dressing and serve or place the romaine in 4 bowls and let everyone choose their own toppings.
