- 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

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.
