Tex mex salad

I am using the insta pot.   The same recipe can be used by substituting canned beans . Dump in a salad bowl:


  • 1 cup Cooked, cubed chicken**
  • 2 cups black beans 
  • 1 small can sliced, black olives **
  • 1.5 cups grape or cherry tomatoes , cut in half and seeds removed.  
  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped fine 
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed. 
Dress with italian dressing of choice 
Chill. 

*** notes 
Cook a batch of chicken breasts in the insta pot or in the oven.  Season with your favorite seasoning blend.   

Beans can be cooked in the insta pot or you can use a can of black beans, rinse throughly . 

Black olives are cheaper in a small can and you save the time not chopping.   Sliced are better than chopped.  Considering that there is less water and less air taken up in the can as apposed to whole olives, you are getting a better value.    

This would taste good with an avacoado slice added just before serving.

Mexican Chicken Cassarole

Ingrdents:  the quantities depend on how many you are serving.   It is meant to go with pasta, but I cooked it without pasta and it was fine...
