Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Grill the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, red bell pepper slices, pineapple chunks, diced mango, cucumber slices, and chopped green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fat-free plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Arrange the sliced chicken breasts on top of the salad. Drizzle with the prepared dressing or serve the dressing on the side.
Toss the salad gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.
