Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Dressing
- 1 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime, fresh
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- ½ cup sour cream
For the Salad
- 4 cups salad greens mixed
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ½ cup onion red, finely chopped
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- 1 avocado sliced
- tortilla chips optional, for garnish
- cilantro optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Rub the taco seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- In a food processor, combine the cilantro, chopped garlic, olive oil, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined. Add the sour cream and blend until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Place the salad greens in a large salad bowl. Incorporate the corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Drizzle half of the dressing onto the salad and mix well.
- Portion the salad evenly onto four plates and generously drizzle with the cilantro dressing. Next, add the sliced chicken and avocado to each plate. Garnish with tortilla chips and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Notes
- Storage: Store the chicken, salad, and dressing in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving.
