Instructions

Chicken: Combine chicken marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish or other glass container. Pour marinade over top and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes (or up to an hour). Heat grill 450 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade and place chicken on direct heat and cook at medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side. Move chicken away from the direct heat (direct flame) so that it is cooking on indirect heat and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees. Remove from grill and let rest at least 5 minutes so the juices can redistribute. Cut into slices or cubes.


Street Corn Salad: Heat grill to 450 degrees. Place clean, shucked ears of sweet corn on a plate or baking sheet. Very lightly drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to massage oil into each ear of corn. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Grill on direct heat for a total of 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes with grill tongs. Remove when corn is slightly charred. Let cool slightly and then use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels of corn. Combine corn, mayo, feta, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper red onions and cotija cheese in a large bowl.  Stir to combine. Taste and add additional lime juice, chili powder, feta or any other ingredient, as desired.


Build your bowl & enjoy!
