Step 1
Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. Lay the chicken breasts in the dish, then mix together the tomato sauce, water, and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Pour this sauce evenly over the chicken. Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 2
While the chicken is baking, divide the spinach between two plates. Once the chicken is done, place a breast on each spinach bed and spoon half of the black beans over the top. Finish off by adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a spoonful of salsa to each salad. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature for the best taste. It pairs well with warm tortillas or crispy tortilla chips. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese for extra creaminess.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep any dressing separate if possible to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Give it a quick stir before serving again.
