Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black beans, corn kernels, and red onion.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl and drizzle the lime-cilantro dressing over the top.
Toss the salad gently until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of your Chicken Salad Indio!
