Instructions

  1. Add the chicken to a resealable bag. Add all of the chicken marinade ingredients to the bag, seal it and massage into the chicken. Refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
  2. Add the peppers and onions to a separate resealable bag with the olive oil, chili powder, salt and pepper. Seal the bag and massage into the vegetables. Refrigerate or set aside.
  3. Put all of the vinaigrette ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Pour the vinaigrette into a jar or bowl and set aside.
  4. Preheat the grill to 400° F. Oil the grates and put the chicken, peppers and onions on them. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes before flipping and then another 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165° F. Grill the peppers and onions for 5 minutes then flip them over and grill until they've softened and are lightly charred.
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it. Slice the peppers and onions into bites sized strips. Place the chopped romaine lettuce on a serving platter or in a bowl. Top with the sliced chicken, peppers, onion and avocado. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve the salad topped with some of the vinaigrette or serve it on the side.
