Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and coat them with blackening seasoning. Grill or skillet-cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and blackened. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Roast the Corn

    If using fresh corn, grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes until nicely charred. If using canned corn, you can sauté it in a skillet with a little olive oil until heated through and slightly browned.

  3. 3

    Make the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados and mix in lime juice, salt, and any other desired seasonings. Adjust to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, roasted corn, sliced blackened chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle with lime Caesar dressing and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the salad and top it with a generous scoop of guacamole and crispy jalapeños. Serve immediately.
