Southwestern Chicken Salad and Salsa…

I love this! It’s one of my absolute favorite things that you can make with chicken. Butterfly a skinless chicken breast. Mix 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of ground coriander,½ teaspoon of ground cumin and ¾ teaspoon of salt in a bowl, and rub over both sides of the chicken breast. Grill the breast until the edges of the top side are white, and flip over until just done. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes. In another bowl, mix 6 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil with 8 teaspoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of cilantro, 2 teaspoons of honey, ½ teaspoon of salt and some pepper. Whisk well. Add 1 cup of canned black beans, 4 ounces of small cherry tomatoes and 1 scallion. Cut the chicken breast into fine slices, throw the dressing over 2 small heads of lettuce, and add sliced avocado and ¼ cup of toasted nuts. Dreamy.
