Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1.5 teaspoons Fajita seasoning
- 1 cup Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, sliced
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Light shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.25 cup Salsa (medium or mild)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle the chicken breast evenly with fajita seasoning and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a serving bowl or platter, layer the chopped romaine lettuce as the base. Top with cooked peppers, onions, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and shredded Mexican blend cheese.
To make the salsa vinaigrette, whisk together salsa, lime juice, and water in a small bowl until well combined.
Drizzle the salsa vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your guilt-free WW 5 Points Fajita Salad!
