Preparation Instructions
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, diced tomato, cucumber, corn, black beans, and shredded cheddar.
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced chipotle pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad
Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle the chipotle-honey vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with tortilla strips for added crunch.
