📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Pat chicken breasts dry. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, coat evenly, and marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. 2
    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approx. 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil grates. Grill chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice.
  3. 3
    While chicken rests, prepare dressing: In a medium bowl, mash avocados until mostly smooth. Stir in 2 tbsp lime juice, cilantro, minced red onion, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Gradually add 1-2 tbsp water, stirring until creamy and drizzly.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, combine salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, corn, and diced cucumber.
  5. 5
    Divide salad base among plates. Top with sliced grilled chicken and generously drizzle with creamy guacamole dressing. Serve immediately.

💡 Notes

For meal prep, grill chicken and chop vegetables ahead of time, storing separately. Make the guacamole dressing fresh just before serving for best results. Leftover chicken and veggies can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
