Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by mixing together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this marinade all over 2 chicken breasts and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 400°F (200°C). Grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
  3. While the chicken is resting, chop up 2 cups of romaine lettuce, halve a handful of cherry tomatoes, drain and rinse 1 cup of canned sweet corn, and dice 1 cucumber. Arrange these in a bowl.
  4. Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad base. Add a generous scoop of guacamole or avocado crema in the center and sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
  5. Serve immediately while warm. This salad can also be refrigerated for meal prep throughout the week.

Notes

For best flavor, always use the freshest produce. Marinate chicken for longer (30-60 minutes) for deeper flavor and store ingredients separately to maintain freshness.
