Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken thighs with jerk seasoning and olive oil. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Grill or pan-fry the chicken thighs over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber (sliced), red onion (thinly sliced), corn, and avocado (diced).

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Prepare Cornbread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Pour into a greased baking dish.

  7. 7

    Bake Cornbread

    Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve it over the salad with cornbread on the side.
