Chopped Mexican Chicken Salad is a quick and healthy recipe that uses fresh ingredients.  You can serve it as a main or side dish. 
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Ear of Corn
  • 1 Head Romaine Lettuce
  • 2 Ounces Arugula
  • 2 Ounces Queso Fresco
  • 4 Ounces Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 Scallions
  • 1 Bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Lime

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season it all over with salt and pepper.In a large pan, heat some olive oil on medium until hot. Add the chicken and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the chicken cooks and cools, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the radishes into wedges. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Thinly slice the scallions. Roughly chop the cilantro. Peel off the husks and remove the silks from the corn. Using a knife in a sawing motion, cut the kernels off the cob. Chop the romaine lettuce into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • In a small bowl, combine the juice of the whole lime and about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.Whisk until blended and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chop the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped chicken to a large bowl along with the radishes, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, corn, romaine lettuce, and arugula. Add some of the dressing (you may not need all of it) and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the salad between 2 bowls. Crumble half the queso fresco over the top of each. Garnish with the scallions. Enjoy!

    That salad looks wonderful and Blue Apron sounds like a great service! I could use something like that during the sports season! I’m so glad you stopped by my site, because I am loving yours! ! If you have a moment, I’d love for you to link up with us at Foodie Fridays…our current one ends tonight, and the next one starts Thurs night / Friday morning at midnight.

    What a great idea! I totally wish I had been smart enough to come up with the idea for Blue Apron! 🙂
    Loving this recipe! I love salads, though – could eat them every day. Every. Single. Day. And lemme tell ya something – pretty sure this salad would be at the top of my list – our favorite is Mexican. Anything really. If we can turn it into a Mexican dish, we do! SOOOO bueno! 🙂

    Everytime I go to Chipotle I always get extra corn salsa, and mix that in with my salad, which I also get on the side to make a nice corn salad.
    Yes I know everything on the side with me–like a Seinfeld episode!
    Have a great weekend girl!

    That salad looks so tasty. I could see this being a perfect gift for a new mother. Something she could easily make or her maybe less experienced partner could make. I know I would have loved to have dinners available that I didn’t have to put any thought into when I returned home from the hospital.

    We have something similar over here. A friend orders this type of boxed food to teach her daughter to cook all sorts of different food. It is a wonderful innovation and so convenient.

    I love this post. Everything about it. Particularly the GORGEOUS photos and the phrase ‘knick knacks’ (isn’t there just something super cool about those words?! It makes simple stuff sound so much better!). Love the way that they packed those veggies. Looks so deliciously fresh. Gorgeous post hon!! xxx

    This service sounds so convenient. It’s so nice to take a break from all the mental checklists we make and double-check all the time as far as groceries for dinner. I find myself going to the grocery store 3x a week easy. It gets out of control sometimes. And I love a corn salad. Want this!

    What a great concept and now I’m hitting myself on the head wondering why I never thought of doing something like this. I’m sure this business is doing amazing in the city. I can’t believe how fresh and wonderful everything looks! WOW, I might have to check them out and see if they have service out here in California! xoxo, Jackie
