Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken Salad

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   To make the dressing, place the dressing ingredients, including the V&V Supremo® Crema Supremo® Brand Mexican Sour Cream, in a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. 2

   To marinate the chicken, whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl until completely smooth. Add the chicken thighs, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. 3

   To sear the cheese, preheat a cast iron grill skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the V&V Supremo® Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese wedges in half lengthwise, place the halves in the skillet and sear each side for 30 seconds. When done, cut each slice lengthwise, then into small cubes. Set aside.

4. 4

   To grill the vegetables, use the same skillet to grill the pepper strips for 3 minutes. Add the corn, lime juice, salt and black pepper and grill for 3 more minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.

5. 5

   Wipe off the skillet and grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Once cooked, set aside and let rest for 4 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Cut the chicken into strips and toss with the chopped lettuce, peppers, corn, tomatoes and seared V&V Supremo® Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese cubes. Serve each portion with the tequila lime dressing and top with the reserved avocado half, sliced.
