- Remove chicken from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite size pieces. Transfer the cubed chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
Salad Ingredients
- Drizzle corn with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.Place on the grill for 6-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes to ensure even browning. Remove the corn from the grill and allow to cool. Once cool enough to handle cut the corn off the cob.
- Add the cut corn to the large bowl with the chicken along with the cucumbers, red onions, green onion, bell peppers and carrots.
- Pour the green goddess dressing on top and toss to coat the chicken and veggies in the sauce.Season with any additional salt and pepper to taste. I love serving this with a little hot sauce for a kick! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days and enjoy throughout the week!
