CINDY'S SOUTHWEST CHICKEN DINNER SALAD

Cindy's Southwest Chicken Dinner Salad image

This is a recipe I made up by taking a few things from a couple different recipes to fit into our own tastes. I used a marinade on the chicken that is half western dressing & half italian dressing that our butcher store here at home makes...it is wonderful and a pink color...then just grill them up and slice onto your salad. You can use any marinated chicken breasts that fit your families tastes.
