Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade all over the chicken breasts. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. In a large salad bowl, spread a base of chopped romaine lettuce. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, and diced cucumber in colorful sections around the bowl.
  4. Top the salad with grilled chicken strips. Spoon guacamole or avocado crema into the center. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top.
  5. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm, or refrigerate for a refreshing cold salad later.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for 30–60 minutes if time allows.
Store ingredients separately for meal prep and assemble just before eating.
For a low-carb version, skip the corn and add extra greens or sliced radish.
Guacamole can be swapped for avocado slices or a Greek yogurt-based avocado crema.
To make dairy-free, ensure the guacamole contains no dairy.
