Ingredients

8 oz Chicken tenderloins, diced (or skinless chicken breast)

2 cups Celery, diced

1/2 cup Cooked chickpeas, chopped

1/2 cup Cooked kidney beans, chopped

1 cup Salsa

6 cups Romaine lettuce

2 2/3 tsp Olive oil

1/8 tsp Chili powder

2 Garlic cloves, minced

1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

In nonstick saute pan, add oil, diced chicken, celery, chili powder, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until chicken is browned, then add chickpeas, kidney beans, and salsa. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until heated through and beans have softened. The kidney beans should have a soft consistency like refried beans. While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, take 2 lunch plates and arrange a bed of lettuce on both plates. Remove saute pan from stove and let chicken and vegetable mixture cool for 2-3 minutes. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture into the center of both plates on each bed of lettuce. Sprinkle with onion powder and serve.
