For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in the taco seasoning mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you prefer grilled chicken, simply grill the chicken breasts until cooked through and then slice or shred them for the salad. To add some crunch, sprinkle a handful of crushed tortilla chips or toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) over the salad. Customize your salad by adding other favorite toppings such as diced avocado, corn kernels, chopped bell peppers, or a squeeze of lime juice.
