Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, black olives, cheddar cheese, and sliced scallions. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle with your choice of dressing and serve immediately.
