Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Fiesta Ranch salad kit
- 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup salsa verde
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl or freezer bag, combine the chicken breasts with salsa verde, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Massage until well-coated and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken on it, cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 5-7 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Assemble your salad: In a large bowl, spread out the Fiesta Ranch salad mix. Top with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with additional salsa verde or ranch dressing if desired. Toss gently.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Fresh veggies like avocado or cherry tomatoes can enhance the dish.
