Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons oil (olive, canola or vegetable)
3/4 cups BBQ sauce, plus more for topping the salad if desired
1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped finely
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix together the cumin, garlic powder, chile powder, salt and pepper.

  • If Cooking on the Grill: Brush the grill with the remaining oil. Grill the chicken for about 5 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it. Add the BBQ sauce and toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients together. Or place all the ingredients in a lidded jar and shake well. Set aside
  • Place the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onions and garbanzo beans into a large salad bowl. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add the avocado and toss gently. Add more vinaigrette if need it.
  • Top with sliced chicken. Garnish with tortilla strips and chopped cilantro. Drizzle some BBQ sauce on top if desired. Serve
