Chicken salad

I'm an asshole. I made this great awesome salad with grilled chicken on it the other night. I took a picture of the super awesome salad before I put the chicken on and then just stopped taking pictures. Soooo you get no picture with this one, but seriously picture salad with sliced grilled chicken on it, it's not hard.

Grilled chicken
1 package boneless skinless chicken
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Goya Adobo Powder
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tsp chilli powder
1 Tsp Pepper
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Grill chicken on medium low for 12 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Slice and place on top of salad.

Salad
2 Cups romain lettuce chopped
2 cups baby spinach chopped
croutons
grated parmesan cheese
red onions
tomatoes
Good ranch dressing (I'm currently addicted to this brand)

I loved this recipe because the chicken had enough flavor to stand out in the salad, but not so much flavor that it over powered the fact that it was a salad. This was meant to be the entire meal not a side salad. The next day I used the chicken in some simple tacos with Pico De Gallo, but it would also make a fun and interesting chicken salad sandwich.
