Description

Grain free yet still so satisfying, this salad is the perfect healthy meal.

Ingredients

FOR THE FAJITA-STYLE SEASONING:
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika

FOR THE SALAD:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 pinches salt, or to taste
1 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 whole medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
8 ounces, weight shredded cheddar cheese, or as desired
Guacamole (using 3 avocados), for topping
12 large Romaine lettuce leaves, torn Into bite-sized pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 425ÂºF. Mix seasoning ingredients and set aside.

Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt to taste, then rub both sides with the fajita seasoning. Place on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 22â€“25 min, or until chicken reaches 165ÂºF in the thickest part. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, as the chicken is baking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cover, and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 6â€“8 min. Add bell pepper and cook until pepper is tender-crisp and onion is completely soft, about 5 min. Remove from heat.

Divide lettuce between bowls. Top with chicken, fried onions/peppers, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and guacamole.

Enjoy!
