Chicken, corn and tomatoes combine in a delicious honey chipotle sauce to create a salad that serves as a meal!
When it comes to deciding what to cook for meals the meal that usually stumps me the most is lunch. My best option is when I can figure out things to make that both my husband can take to the office and that I can have working at home.
We have a few favorites and it seems like we seem to repeat those over and over and over again! It gets really boring. Plus, his favorites usually are’t mine and vice versa.
Often it ends up being that I send a sandwich to work with my husband, but when it comes time eat my own lunch at home I’m scrambling to throw something together.
That’s why I’m loving this Chipotle Chicken, Corn and Tomato Salad recipe I put together today. Surprise, surprise it is something that we BOTH found delicious.
Plus making the recipe once makes enough for both of us to have two lunches from it and it stores well in the fridge.
As far as ingredients goes, the lean protein in the Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Slow Roasted Chicken Breast as well as the fresh tomatoes and corn makes it a lunch that fits into a healthful diet.
For dressing on the salad, I used this honey chipotle dressing recipe, but your choice of bottled dressing can be used instead.
And, if you want to swap out the chicken, you can instead use one of the other varieties of Oscar Mayer Selects Natural including Slow Roasted Turkey, Applewood Smoked Turkey, Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken, Applewood Smoked Ham and Slow Roasted Roast Beef.

Ooh, this looks so good! Never a good idea to look at recipes when hungry….I would probably add this to rice, yeah!

Oh gosh yes, that is right up my alley. I’d also use that as a filling in tacos!

First of all, Can I say I love that graphic with all the ingredients? So stealing that technique. Next, the use of Selects Natural Slow Roasted Chicken Breast is brilliant. As a blogger, I know how little time you have to make lunch and still have something delicious. Great approach.

We also make our own honey chipotle sauce. Love almost any that mix sweet and spicy!

Great looking salad. I love the splash of color and I can only imagine how wonderful it would taste. My hubby does not really like corn, so, that would be great for me. I can have the salad all to myself! LOL.
