Chicken Fajita Salad

In my opinion, this recipe is mediocre....nothing special and really not anything you couldn't come up with on your own. However, most of the ingredients you probably have on hand which makes it great for those nights when you aren't sure what you are fixing for dinner.
Chicken Fajita Salad
1/2 lb chicken breast tenders
1 Tbls plus 1 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
vegetable cooking spray
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup seeded, chopped tomato
2 Tbls sliced green onions
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 Tbls sour cream
1/4 cup chunky salsa

Place chicken in a shallow dish. Combine lime juice and next 4 ingredients; pour over chicken, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 45 minutes. Place chicken on rack of broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 7-8 minutes or until done, turning after 4 minutes. (My husband grilled the chicken.) Remove from oven; slice chicken into 1/2 inch strips, and set aside. Place 1 cup lettuce on each of 2 salad plates, and top evenly with chicken, tomato, and remaining ingredients. Serves 2.
