Cooking Steps

1

• Wash and dry produce. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch pieces. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop into bite-size pieces. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.

2

• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, half of one packet dressing (one whole packet for 4 servings), half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

3

• In a large bowl, combine sour cream, Cajun Spice Blend, remaining dressing, and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 tsp at a time until the mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, tomato, and carrots to bowl; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

4

• Divide salad between bowls. Top with chicken mixture and serve.
