Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Avocado, diced
• 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the salad ingredients: wash and dry the salad greens, slice the bell peppers and red onion, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, bell peppers, avocado, red onion, and cilantro.

Step 7

Thinly slice the chicken breasts and add them to the salad.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of lime juice with the sour cream to make the dressing.

Step 9

Drizzle the lime sour cream dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
