Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup jarred mild salsa
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lime
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (4 oz each), trimmed of fat
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 corn on the cobs (husks removed)
- 2 romaine hearts
- Olive oil spray
- 4 oz avocado (1 small hass sliced)
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine salsa, olive oil, and juice from the lime. Mix well and set aside.
- Sprinkle the kosher salt, oregano, and cumin evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
- Light your grill to medium heat. Trim away any tired outer leaves from the romaine hearts. Halve each head vertically and place them on a large platter. Spray cut sides with olive oil spray and lightly spray corn too.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs and corn on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and corn is tender. Remove both from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Place romaine cut side down over high heat on the grill. Grill for about 1 to 2 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp. Remove from heat.
- Slice grilled chicken into strips. Cut kernels off grilled corn cobs. Serve sliced chicken over grilled romaine along with avocado slices, tomatoes, onions, a pinch of kosher salt, and drizzle generously with salsa dressing.
