Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 chopped chipotle pepper with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over it, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the chipotle dressing by blending 1 chipotle pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 5
Meanwhile, chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cilantro.
Step 7
Add the grilled chicken strips on top of the salad.
Step 8
Drizzle the chipotle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and spicy Paleo Chipotle Salad!
