Ingredients
  • 2 Chicken Breast
  • 2 Corn on the Cob
  • 1 can (drained and rinsed) Black Beans
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1 Avocado
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1/4 cup (chopped) Cilantro
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Black Pepper

Preparation of Chicken

Marinate the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 15 minutes.

Grilling the Chicken and Corn

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Grill the corn on the cob for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly charred. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Avocado Dressing

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Assembling the Salad

Cut the corn kernels off the cob. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. In a large bowl, combine the grilled chicken, corn kernels, black beans, and red onion. Drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad. Serve immediately while the chicken and corn are still warm.
