Instructions
- Prepare the chicken first since it will take the longest. Heat a skillet to medium heat and coat with cooking spray or 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Season the chicken with Chile Lime Seasoning and add the juice of one lime to the pan while it cooks. Cover the skillet with a lid to speed up the cooking process. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken is cooking, wash and dice the veggies. Rinse and drain the beans. Cook the frozen corn. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and bell peppers.
- Then, prepare the dressing. In a glass measuring beaker or small mixing bowl, combine all Greek Yogurt Chipotle Sauce ingredients. Whisk together until smooth.
- Once everything is prepared and done, assemble the salad. Start with the spring mix and build everything on top of that: beans, corns, peppers, red onion, tomatoes, and crushed chips. Slice the chicken into strips (if not already small enough) and add that on top.
- Drizzle your Healthy Southwest Salad in the Greek Yogurt Chipotle Sauce, toss and enjoy!
Notes
- You can grill, bake, or pan fry it. I cooked the chicken on a skillet. Regardless of cooking method, your chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

- If you like your dressing thinner, add more olive oil and a splash of vinegar. If you like it thicker, add more yogurt or mayo.
