One serving: (1-1/2 cups salad with 20 tortilla chips) Calories: 685 Although this is from Light and Tasty, it has quite a few calories. I may be what I have on super bowl Sunday. I could eat quite a bit and stil have less fat and calories than the nachos, pizza, and such the others are having.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup fat-free thousand island salad dressing
1/3 cup salsa
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt-free lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1/4-inch srips
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1/4-inch srips
2 teaspoons lime juice
12 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, salsa and sour cream. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. Combine the seasonings; sprinkle over chicken. In a nonstick skillet, brown chicken in oil for 3 minutes on each side. Add peppers; saute 2-3 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear. Drizzle with lime juice; keep warm.
3. In a large bowl, toss the romaine, cheese, cabbage, tomato and carrot. Add chicken mixture. Serve over chips; drizzle with dressing.
