Instructions
- Rub your chicken breast with the taco seasoning.
- Preheat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until blackened and cooked through, until the internal temperature reads 165F.
- Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, add all the remaining ingredients for the salad.
- Allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes then slice it and add to the salad. In a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Notes
- Allowing the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after cooking retains the moisture inside and makes it super juicy!
- Fajita seasoning will work in place of taco seasoning.
- Greek yogurt is a lighter alternative to sour cream that still tastes rich and creamy while saving a few calories!
- Double batch the chicken to make this recipe for meal prep.
- Store any leftover chicken taco salad in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- If you're making it ahead, store the dressing separately so the arugula stays fresher for longer.
