Chicken Taco Salad – Low Fat Chicken Recipes

Posted by admin on Aug 12, 2009

I simply can’t end my first day of the blog without including the recipe for chicken taco salad.  It is my mom’s favorite meal in the universe to make for our family get-togethers.  It is the ultimate of all chicken salad recipes.

***This recipe has it all:  easy, cheap, fast, delicious, low-fat***

Chicken Taco Salad

(Here’s the rundown on how to “throw” it together because I plan to add a video on this very soon.)

 1. Pre-cook some chicken (I prefer to boil skinless boneless chicken breasts for over an hour, so they’ll pull apart with a fork.)

2. Prepare the chicken (Shred chicken and heat with 1 packet taco seasoning and half the amount of water required on the packet directions.)

3. Prepare the dressing (1 tub fat-free sour cream mixed with 1/2 cup salsa, 1 to 2 tsp. chili powder, and enough milk to make it pourable… approx. 1/4 cup)

4. Build your salad!

I recommend at least some of the following ingredients:

Romaine or Greenleaf lettuce

Chicken ;)

Cheese

Tomatoes

Avocado (a must!)

Black or Kidney beans (another must!)

Green onions

Olives

Crushed tortilla chips (some people like ‘em on the bottom, some like ‘em on the top)

Dressing, salt, and pepper

I really hope you try this and love it as much as my family loves it.  It is my favorite of all low fat chicken recipes, so let me know what you think, and tell me if it becomes a new favorite of yours!
