Method

Preparing the Grilled Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Add the chicken breast and coat evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Onions and Cilantro

    Thinly slice the red onion and green onion, and chop the cilantro. Add all of them to the salad bowl.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili paste, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Everything

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
