Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Start by grilling or pan-searing the chicken breast. Season it with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chili powder for extra flavor. Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill it on the cob or boil it for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply sauté it in a non-stick skillet until heated through and slightly charred.
- Make the Creamy Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, corn, diced avocado, and the creamy dressing. Gently toss everything together until well coated.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Before serving, give it another gentle toss and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
