1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with your choice of marinating ingredients (such as olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder). Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the corn, black beans, roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
4
Add Chicken and Cheese
Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the salad bowl. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top.
5
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.
6
Serve
Serve the salad immediately, enjoying the fresh flavors and textures.
