A bright and fresh grilled chicken recipe paired with a charred corn and avocado salad, perfect for warm family evenings.

  • Total Time: PT35M
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
3 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked
1 large avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and parsley to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place the chicken breasts and the corn cobs on the grill. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5: Grill the corn for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides. Remove everything from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Carefully cut the corn kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the diced avocado, halved tomatoes, and red onion.
Step 7: Toss the salad with the remaining marinade and season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken and serve it alongside or on top of the salad.

Notes

Ensure the grill is properly preheated to get the best sear marks on the chicken.
