Directions

  1. To prepare blackened chicken: Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine blackening spices in a bowl. Coat chicken lightly with spice mix. In a warm, cast iron skillet, saute/fry chicken in oil, searing breasts on both sides. Reduce heat to low, cook till chicken is no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Remove and cold, slightly; then slice into strips.
  2. To assemble salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss together romaine, diced tomatoes, tortilla chips, avocado, all but a few tsp. of cheese, (set remainder aside for garnish), salad dressing, chili flakes, lime juice, cilantro and parsley. Toss lightly to avoid bruising lettuce or possibly avocado.
  3. To serve: Divide salad among four large plates. Arrange blackened chicken slices on top of each salad; sprinkle each with a little remaining cheese. Place tomato wedges around outside of plate, alternating with blue corn chips.
