Cilantro Lime Chicken Salads

Why spend money at a restaurant or fast food place for a salad when it is simple to make your own better salad at home? There is no reason! We enjoyed this salad today for lunch and the entire family really enjoyed it. 


                                                      "Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad"

3 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lime
1 Tbsp Dried Cilantro 
Finely chopped fresh peppers 

Chop chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add sliced chicken. Sprinkle with Cilantro and squeeze half of a lime over the chicken. Today I had just a few pieces of Red, Green and Yellow Peppers left over so why waste? I chopped them up and added it to the chicken. Adds nice flavor and extra veggie nutrition. Cook on medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes stirring occasionally. The lime not only adds amazing flavor, it also makes the chicken very tender. 

Now, we chose to serve this today on top of a delicious fresh salad including:

Lettuce
Spinach
Sugar Snap Peas
Cucumber
Avocado 
Black Olives
Lime wedge
1/4 Cup of Fresh Salsa

This was EASY and DELICIOUS. 

Want to change it up a little? Why not serve it as tacos in a lettuce wrap? Same concept, different presentation. Enjoy!
