Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black beans, corn kernels, and red onion.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl and drizzle the lime-cilantro dressing over the top.

Step 8

Toss the salad gently until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 9
