southwestern pittsburgh chicken salad

I know, I know - I've been absent! Truthfully, I haven't been cooking as much, and when I have, it's been recipes that have already been posted. This recipe isn't revolutionary or anything, but it's better than nothing. It's a variation on the traditional Pittsburgh salad. However, tonight I had some random leftovers (mushrooms and peppers that I bought for a leftover omelet, but never used) and whatnot, that I decided to try something slightly different. Here it goes:

  • 1/2 lb. chicken
  • Mesclun salad
  • Red and yellow peppers, diced
  • Mushrooms, chopped
  • Red onion, diced
  • 1 avocado
  • Cheddar cheese
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons or so of Ranch
  • Salt & pepper
  • Waffle fries
