This Trader Joe’s southwestern chopped salad with chicken in the air fryer makes a great lunch for two or an easy weeknight dinner!

If you’ve never checked our TJ’s salad kits, you should!  This southwestern chopped salad is one of my favorites!

I would say one bag feeds two adults, so if you are making this for more than two people, I would grab another bag!

  We made this chicken in the air fryer, seasoned with TJ’s BBQ rub with coffee and garlic!  It was a quick meal in about 2o minutes!

Don’t have an air fryer?  We’ve had this one for years, and love it!  Find it HERE.

Non-stick spray

1-2 lbs of chicken tenders or chicken breasts

Season your chicken tenders generously with the BBQ rub.

Place chicken in the air fryer and cook 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, depending on the thickness of your chicken.  Temp in the center of your chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
