Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Salad
Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 2 limes
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
- 0.5 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cucumbers, chopped
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions, or to taste
Steps
- Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.
- Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Cut chicken into long strips and place on salad. Squeeze remaining lemon and lime juice on salad at the last minute before serving.
