Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle in adobo sauce
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, then set aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the cilantro. Add these to the salad bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and chipotle in adobo sauce. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the mixture and stir to create a dressing.
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into strips.
Add the chicken strips to the salad.
Drizzle the chipotle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chipotle Salad!
