The Weekend Meal: Chicken Taco Salad

This has to be one of the easiest meals to make, and I'd like to think it's pretty healthy. I like making my own version of pico de gallo, but you can also use store bought stuff too.

Serves 4-6

1.5 lbs of chicken breast, cut into bit sized pieces
1 package of taco seasoning (anything from Ortega or Old El Paso)
1 head of romaine lettuce
1 8 oz package of mixed cheese
1 package of sour cream, big or small depending on your love of the stuff

Pico de Gallo
5 medium sized plum tomatoes
2-3 jalapeno peppers
1 medium white onion
1 clove of garlic
kosher salt to taste

Brown the chicken in a pan and prepare the taco seasoning according to directions. Once the chicken is browned, add the sauce to the pan and let simmer while you prepare the pico.


Bring out your trust food processor and pulse the salt, garlic, onion and jalapenos until roughly chopped.

Add the tomatoes last, so they don't get mushy. Pulse all ingredients 4 or 5 times and you're done.
Combine all the ingredients for your salad. Yum-cheap and easy.
