Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
• 4 cups romaine lettuce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 0.5 cup corn kernels, cooked
• 0.5 cup low-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 0.5 cup tortilla chips, lightly crushed
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning per side. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, prepare the salad base by combining romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 6

Divide the salad base into four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over each salad and serve immediately.
