Quick Throw Together High Protein Meal
You will be delightfully surprised at just how easy is this throw-together Chopped Chicken and Roasted Corn Salad. Rotisserie chicken is a go-to on hand lean protein at our house, plus a few other on-hand healthy ingredients for this quick, high protein, fresh tasting chopped salad. This also makes a delicious filling when wrapped in a tortilla – I prefer whole wheat, high fiber tortillas like Mission Carb Balance tortillas.

Terrific Tip: Harissa olive oil is the secret ingredient that brings a fiery flavor rich in smoked chili peppers, garlic, caraway, coriander and cumin. Roasted corn adds a nice rich flavor to the salad. Can always use canned sweet corn or your own fresh corn!
Amazing Short Cuts for Easiest Lunch or Dinner
Of course you can always throw your fresh corn on the grill for that delectable roasted flavor, but I was so excited to find canned Del Monte’s Fire-Roasted Corn. Trader Joe’s also has an amazing frozen roasted corn option that I like to keep in the freezer to add to a variety of dishes. Pico de Gallo is a super easy way to get fresh ingredients without any chopping! And, I can never have enough cilantro so I added the whole bunch but add according to your taste preference. Kitchen scissors make cilantro chopping a BREEZE! Harissa oil is the secret flavor power in this dish. I wasn’t familiar with it until I tried it during an incredibly fun cooking class at Red Stick Spice and quickly fell in love!
