Tex Mex Chicken Salad

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup Hellmans mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup red bell pepper chopped
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/8 cup shredded colby cheese
1/8 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Cut the chicken into 1/2" cubes.

Heat the oil in a large fry pan. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from the pan and cool.

Combine the ranch dressing, mayonaisse and spices in a large bowl. Add the chicken, celery, bell pepper and green onion. Mix together until well coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 to 2 hours.

Serve the chicken salad wrapped in lettuce leaves, or simply on a plate.

This is my favorite Ranch Salad Dressing:

Ranch SALAD Dressing

6 ingredients. 3 minutes to make. So, how can a salad dressing so easy
to prepare be so delicious? Well, it just is. Thick, creamy, and full
of that zesty ranch flavour we all love, you will never go back to
bottled dressing again. This dressing is very versatile. Use it as a
salad dressing, vegetable dip, or even a sauce on your favourite cut
of meat. After a taste of this, I was suddenly filled with an
overriding urge to go round up some cows. Now that's ranch!

Serving Size: 3 cups of salad dressing
Preparation Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's Best Food's Mayonnaise)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender, mix on high speed for
2 minutes, until thouroughly mixed and creamy. It may not seem thick
enough, however, the salad dressing will properly thicken after it is
allowed to chill. Store in an airtight container (such as an old salad
dressing bottle) in the refrigerator for up to two weeks

Enjoy!
