  • SERVINGS:
  • 1

Ingredients

  • 115–140 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 125 mL corn, fresh, grilled, or thawed from frozen
  • Olive oil
  • 2.5 mL chili powder
  • 1.25 mL cumin
  • 1.25 mL garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, lime wedge, chopped cilantro

Directions

  • Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill the chicken, or use a grill pan, over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice or chop.
  • If using fresh corn, grill directly until lightly charred, then cut the kernels from the cob. If using frozen or canned corn, sauté it in a hot skillet with a little olive oil until warmed through and lightly caramelised.
  • Add the greens from the Power Southwest Chopped Salad Kit to a large bowl. Toss with the included dressing, then add the kit’s toppings and crunch.
  • Top with grilled chicken and corn. Add avocado, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime if you’re feeling extra.
