Preparation Steps

1Step 1

Pat the chicken dry, rub it with the olive oil and season with the garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

2Step 2

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until nicely marked and 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.

3Step 3

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into bite-size cubes.

4Step 4

While it rests, whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.

5Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and corn. Add the chicken and avocado, pour over the dressing and toss gently. Serve right away.

Tips & Variations

Add the avocado last and toss gently so it stays in neat cubes.
Add crumbled feta, black beans or a handful of greens to make it heartier; leftover rotisserie chicken also works.
Store undressed salad and chicken in the fridge for up to 3 days, adding avocado and dressing just before serving.
