Ingredients
For Chicken Marinade:
- 3 chicken breasts filleted
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp orange juice
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
For the Salads:
- 1 large red bell pepper chopped
- 9 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup tortilla strips
- 1/4 cup Pepitas optional
- 1/2 cup Southwest Salad Dressing
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl mix together all the marinade ingredients. Add in the chicken and coat it in the marinade.
- Marinade the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then slice into thin strips.
- While the chicken is cooking prepare the salads.
- In a large mixing bowl toss together the mixed greens, red bell pepper, grape tomatoes, black beans and corn until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Then place the salads. Top with the sliced chicken, tortillas strips, shredded cheese, pepitas and drizzle with the salad dressing.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- You can grill the chicken if you prefer. You can also pre-make the chicken ahead of time and store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- I love serving my homemade Southwest Salad dressing on top but you can easily use store bough instead.
- This salad can easily be made with spinach or romaine lettuce instead of the mixed greens based on your preference.
