Ingredients
•
2 lemons
•
2 limes
•
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
•
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
•
4 carrots, chopped
•
2 tomatoes, chopped
•
2 cucumbers, chopped
•
1/4 cup sliced green onions, or to taste
Directions
1
Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.
4
Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.
5
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
6
Cut chicken into long strips and place on salad. Squeeze remaining lemon and lime juice on salad at the last minute before serving.
