You need

To buy

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens or arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

From your shelf

  • 1 package (about 20 oz) Tyson fully cooked loaded chicken bites cheddar bacon ranch

Staples

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken bites from the package and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until heated through and lightly browned in spots. The bites are ready when they reach 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is warm.
  2. While the chicken cooks, place 4 cups of greens in a large bowl and halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, then toss together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the warm chicken bites and any pan juices over the salad. Toss gently to warm the greens slightly and distribute the chicken evenly. Divide between two plates and serve at once.

Note Swap in shredded cabbage and sliced cucumber for the greens if preferred. Leftovers keep refrigerated for one day and are best warmed in a skillet. Serve with crusty bread or alongside roasted potatoes to stretch the meal.
