{in the kitchen} Southwestern Cobb Salad

Summer is upon us and it is hot, hot, hot!  I rarely have the desire to be in the kitchen lately, so I’ve been on the lookout for easy, no-fuss dinner recipes!  We recently tried this one (we adapted it from Cooking Light) and it was sooo good!

Southwestern Cobb Salad

  • 8oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into pieces (for an even faster meal, you can also use rotisserie chicken.  This is also a great recipe for using up leftover chicken)
  • about 3 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 cups torn romaine lettuce (or one big bag that you find prepared at the store)
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo (fresh salsa is usually found near the bagged salads in the produce section)
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado
  • 1/2 cup cheese – some in our family prefer just shredded cheddar, while others are more adventurous and like feta or pepperjack
  • 1 15oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

Preparing the salad is so easy.  If you haven’t cooked the chicken, just toss in a pan and saute until no longer pink.  Then, toss everything together into salad bowls and enjoy!
