Ingredients

Chipotle Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Salad

  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 salad tomato diced
  • 1 avocado cubed
  • 1 cup corn canned
  • 1/2 cup black beans drained, rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 English cucumber peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 red onion sliced

Honey Mango Dressing

  • 1 mango peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Instructions

  • Chipotle Chicken
  • Mix together all the ingredients except for the chicken in a bowl. Add in the chicken breasts and cover them with the rub we’ve just made.
  • Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes before cooking (you can make the dressing meanwhile).
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken.
  • Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until it’s nicely browned or even a little burnt. Turn the chicken over, reduce the heat, and let it cook for another 6-7 minutes until the chicken has fully cooked through.
  • Once finished, let it cool down and slice the chicken breasts.
  • Honey Mango Dressing
  • Add all the ingredients into a blender except for canola oil. Puree until one smooth texture.
  • Now add in the canola and blend the mixture. Let it sit.
  • Salad
  • Add all the chopped salad ingredients into a bowl and toss them together.
  • Divide the salad into 4 separate bowls, top with chicken slices, and drizzle with the dressing.
