Use this healthy chicken recipe to add some zesty flavor to your healthy cooking routine. Chunk leftover chicken and marinate in Mrs. Dash® Mesquite Grille Marinade for about ten minutes.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch chunks
- 1/2 cup (120mL) Mrs. Dash® Mesquite Grille 10-Minute Marinade
- Non stick cooking spray
- 1 10 oz. (280g) pkg. frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained
- 1/2 cup (120mL) canned drained no salt added tomatoes* (1/2 cup chopped fresh plum tomatoes may replace the canned.
- 6 (6 inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
- 1 cup (240mL) reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (60mL) chopped cilantro (optional)

- Marinate chicken in Mrs. Dash® Mesquite Grille 10-Minute Marinade. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
