Instructions
Grilled Chicken
Add chicken breast to a large bowl or ziplock bag. Drizzle with olive oil and seasonings and toss to coat. Marinade 30 minutes while your chopping / prepping the rest of the recipe.
Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Clean then spray grill with non stick cooking spray.Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
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!
Green Goddess Dressing
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor with the blade attachment. Pulse for 30-60 seconds or until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until your ready to dress the salad.
