This recipe is delicious and one of my most favourite recipes on the entire weight loss program. I love this recipe so much I made it for supper last night.  The marinade is tangy with a kick of hotness. It makes the perfect lunch or supper, so try it tonight!

Chicken Fajita Salad   serves 3  

1/4 cup lime juice

1 tsp chilli powder

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 medium red pepper, chopped

8 cups torn lettuce leaves

1/2 cup red onion, chopped

low fat ranch salad dressing

Marinade chicken breast in lime juice and chilli powder in the fridge for 1 hour. Remove chicken from marinade and throw out. Cook chicken breast on BBQ or indoor health grill. Cut into strips. Arrange salad by layering vegetables and lettuce and a large bowl. Top with chicken and dressing. Toss and serve!

This salad is low in fat and packed full of protein. You can also serve it wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla with salsa. If you’re not watching your weight, you may top salad with cheese or sour cream.
