Shortcut

No time to marinate and grill? Substitute 2 pkg. (6 oz. each) OSCAR MAYER Southwestern Grilled Chicken Breast Strips for the grilled marinated fresh chicken. Cut peppers into thin slices and add to salad without grilling.

Use Your Broiler

Cook chicken and peppers under the broiler instead of on the grill.

Special Extra

Make some fun and delicious wraps by serving this salad wrapped in large flour tortillas.
