Description

Lemon-pepper chicken breasts are grilled and placed on top of iceberg lettuce and veggies for this easy, summery salad.

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.
