Dad’s Famous Chicken Taco Salad

Loaded with fresh ingredients, this is my Dad’s Famous Chicken Taco Salad! So simple to whip up!

Famous Chicken Taco Salad-1Here’s a quick and easy dish you can make today to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! My dad has been making this Famous Chicken Taco Salad for years and it’s absolutely delicious!

You can use any kind of diced chicken but I find that rotisserie tastes the best. This salad is best served right away because the tortilla chips can really soften. Here’s everything you’re going to need, plus how to put this together (there is a method so it turns out perfectly)!

Famous Chicken Taco Salad-2

You’ll Need:

  • 1 ½ lbs diced rotisserie chicken
  • ½ iceberg lettuce
  • ½ lb grated cheddar
  • Four or five green onions
  • One cup French salad dressing
  • One pkg taco seasoning
  • Two chopped Roma tomatoes
  • One green pepper, diced
  • One bag of tortilla chips, crushed
  • Diced cilantro

Famous Chicken Taco Salad-3Directions:

  • Prep all of your ingredients. Wash and pat dry (or spin) your lettuce.
  • Place diced chicken, green pepper, green onion, tomatoes, cilantro and grated cheese in piles around a salad bowl.
  • Put crushed tortilla chips into the middle.
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning (straight from the package) over ingredients on the plate.
  • Lay your lettuce on top of everything. (This will ensure your lettuce doesn’t get soggy).
  • Then drizzle your salad dressing on top and toss your salad. Serve right away!

Choose the one you can't live without. That cares Choose the one you can't live without. That cares enough to put in the work every day - especially when it 'aint so pretty. That fights for the life you've built together. The one that's willing to grow in new ways together and open their mind and heart to new possibilities.

You're the one I want to go through all the times with - the good and the tough, the happy and sad. Thank you for being the guy that folds all of our laundry and respects that I don't want you to wash mine. 😄 Thank you for changing the garbages - cause you know I hate it. Thank you for building us epic fires in the summer and making THE BEST popcorn ever. ❤️ Thanks for watching The Bachelor with me (and providing hilarious commentary throughout). Thanks for being a gentle parent with our kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️

To the love of my life, my partner in life, and greatest Daddy - Happy 14th!

Our son wanted to be at the hospital so badly but because of restrictions at the time, wasn't allowed. I brought a photo of him and had it on the table by my bed, we Facetimed him a few times, and beforehand, he made these beautiful affirmations for us. 

✨️ I printed out the affirmations I wanted and (his idea) he asked my top favourite things and made a list of them. Then he coloured pictures of each thing to go along with the beautiful words. I hung them in the hospital room where we welcomed Noah and I can't explain how much strength this gave me and the love I felt. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks to our doula @tiabiggsdoula for the idea 🙏❤️.

I would love to hear how you involved your older kids in your birth. Share below.👇
