Description

A vibrant medley of grilled chicken, hearty black beans, sweet corn, and fresh greens, all drizzled with a smoky chipotle-lime dressing.


Ingredients

  • Grilled chicken (freshly cooked)
  • Black beans (canned)
  • Sweet corn (frozen or canned)
  • Romaine lettuce (chopped)
  • Avocado (ripe, diced)
  • Cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • Chipotle-lime dressing

Instructions

  1. Begin by grilling your chicken until it’s fully cooked, then slice it into strips.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, sweet corn, chopped romaine lettuce, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. Once the salad base is mixed, add the sliced grilled chicken on top.
  4. Drizzle the smoky chipotle-lime dressing generously over the salad.
  5. Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients.
  6. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for an easy meal prep option.

Notes

Marinate your chicken in the chipotle-lime dressing for deeper flavor. Store salad and dressing separately to maintain freshness.
