El Pollo Loco's Grilled Chicken Salad

I was running around trying to get all my errands done and realized I hadn't eaten anything in a long time.  So I drove through El Pollo Loco and got a Grilled Chicken Salad WITH the creamy cilantro dressing.  Hoping there was enough protein and vegetables, that my numbers wouldn't be high (and not really caring as much at this point because I was So hungry), and guess what?  My numbers were low, almost too low.  I probably could have had something else to eat with this particular salad.

I almost never use all of my dressing.  At the location I go to by my house, they give me a generous amount, which I Love!!  (I'm Totally a dressing kind of girl).  I can always eat a whole salad and I use about 1/2 or 2/3 of my dressing.

Preheat oven to 375.  Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish w/Pam or whatever you choose.

1. In a medium bowl, mix chicken w/the 1st 6 ingredients. In separate small bowl, mix corn & black beans.
2. Pour the chicken broth in a shallow bowl.  Dip the tortillas in the broth, just long enough to get them moist (like you would with French Toast)
3. Layer 4 tortillas on the bottom of your dish.  Then add the chicken mix, and then the corn and bean mix.  Repeat these layers (Tortillas, chicken mix, corn & bean mix) ending w/the tortilla layer.
