Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate 20 to 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook chicken 5 to 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Let rest and slice.
  3. Brush corn with olive oil and grill until kernels char, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cut kernels off the cob.
  4. Toss grilled corn with cumin, cayenne, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
  5. Whisk Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  6. Divide lettuce between bowls, top with sliced chicken, corn mix, tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper.
  7. Drizzle with yogurt dressing, sprinkle cheese and fresh herbs, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For best results, marinate chicken the night before. Store components separately in the fridge for up to 4 days.
