👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2️⃣ Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer to a cutting board and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Herb Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, dill, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Refrigerate until ready to serve for the freshest flavor.
4️⃣ Assemble the Salad
Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl or divide evenly among individual plates.
Top with the diced avocado, sweet corn, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
5️⃣ Add the Chicken
Place the sliced grilled chicken over the salad, arranging it evenly for a beautiful presentation.
6️⃣ Finish and Serve
Drizzle the creamy herb dressing generously over the salad just before serving.
Garnish with extra fresh dill, parsley, or freshly cracked black pepper if desired, and enjoy immediately.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Pair this refreshing salad with warm garlic bread, pita chips, roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, or a cup of soup for a complete and satisfying meal.
💡 Recipe Tips
Marinate the chicken longer for even deeper flavor.
Use ripe but firm avocados to keep the salad fresh and vibrant.
Fresh herbs provide the brightest taste in the dressing.
Grill the corn for a lightly smoky flavor before adding it to the salad.
The dressing can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
