Southwestern Chicken Salad | Recipe

Step 1

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook in a frying pan until done, turning over halfway through the cooking.

Step 2

When chicken is cooked and cooled, cut into chunks.

Step 3

Return to frying pan, and add one cup of barbecue sauce.

Step 4

Turn on flame, and let the sauce coat all the chicken pieces and caramelize them while stirring, until there is no sauce left in the pan.

Step 5

Chicken pieces should be nice and sticky. (If necessary, add a little more sauce to achieve this.)

Step 6

Layer romaine lettuce on a large platter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the canned corn, diced tomato, avocado, and beans over the lettuce.

Step 8

Arrange the barbecue chicken pieces on top of the lettuce and veggies.

Step 9

Mix together the mayonnaise and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce for the dressing.

Step 10

Pour all over the salad platter, and garnish with tortilla chips

Step 11

Cut each tortilla into eighths (like a pizza).

Step 12

Heat oil in a frying pan, until just under one inch deep.

Step 13

When oil is hot, add tortilla triangles to oil and fry until medium brown.

Step 14

Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.

Step 15

While still hot, sprinkle sea salt and lots of cumin on top of chips.

Step 16

Allow to cool, then lightly crush by hand and add to salad. (You can also garnish the salad with whole triangle pieces in addition to the crushed chips).
