Chicken Fiesta Salad
(Serves Six)
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 oz.) can Mexican-style corn
½ cup salsa
1 (10 ounce) package mixed salad greens
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato, cut into wedges
Rub chicken evenly with half the fajita seasoning. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear; set aside.
In a large saucepan, mix beans, corn, salsa and other half of fajita seasoning. Heat over medium heat until warm.
Prepare the salad by tossing the greens, onion and tomato. Top salad with chicken and dress with the bean and corn mixture.
