My mom's favorite dish ever! You may want to add more lettuce, but my mother is more about the "extras" then the greens. These are extra good topped with Toasted Chickpeas With Seasoning Options! Also for chicken I use Parmesan Chicken a lot.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 boneless skinless chicken breast (poached and shredded or Parmesan Chicken cut up into strips)
1 cup frozen corn (cooked in microwave)
1 cup cheddar cheese
3 cups lettuce
salsa (to taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup drained kidney bean (or your favorite)
1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
1 tomato, chopped
ranch dressing (optional)

Directions

1
Poach chicken then shred.
2
Mix cooked corn and chicken in a bowl with taco seasoning mix.
3
Divide lettuce, beans, tomato, corn and chicken mixture among two bowls.
4
Top with salsa cheese and crushed chips.

Top with ranch dressing if you please.

We really really enjoyed this. Very quick and didn't require the oven. I used leftover grilled chicken, which I shredded, and reheated it with the corn. I omitted the salsa and used Southwesern Ranch dressing from Hidden Valley, and topped the salad with crunched up baked Doritos. I'm really looking forward to having this for lunch tomorrow.

This was easy to make, very filling and oh, so good. The only addition I made was adding some onion. I really like everything about this recipe. I did not use the ranch dressing. I made this for Adopt A Tag II Fall 2008 game
