Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup Italian-style salad dressing
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 head romaine lettuce, rinsed and dried
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar and Monterey cheese blend
5 (6 inch) flour tortillas
½ cup ranch-style salad dressing
½ cup salsa

Steps:

  • In a gallon size plastic bag or 9x9 baking dish, mix together the mayonnaise and Italian dressing. Place chicken in mixture and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Chop, wash, and dry the iceberg and romaine lettuce. Mix and divide among four dinner-size plates. Divide and place the tomato and green onions among the plates. Sprinkle the top of each salad with shredded cheese.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and grill or broil until cooked. While chicken is cooking, cut tortillas into three thick strips and cut each strip into 'matchsticks'. Place on a cookie sheet and put under broiler until golden brown. Let cool. Cut the chicken into strips and divide among plates. Top with tortilla 'crispies'.
  • To prepare the dressing, combine the salsa and ranch dressing in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour over each salad.
