This loaded chicken salad is inspired by the delicious ones served at Chipotle, but you don’t have to pay extra for guacamole! This is a fairly customizable salad, so feel free to use what you have on hand. Using leftover cooked chicken and/or rice will save time when prepping this salad.

    Cook the rice according to package directions. Once cooked, season with ½ tsp salt, cilantro and 1 tbsp lime juice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, remaining lime juice, chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, honey and remaining salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a medium sized bowl, combine the chicken with the salsa and cream cheese and mix well.

  4. 4

    Layer the romaine lettuce on a platter and top with tomatoes and red onion. Add the rice and chicken on top.. Drizzle the dressing over. Serve and enjoy!
