Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Charred Corn Salad.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep everything from sticking.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
Step 3
Take a moment to brush the corn and asparagus with a tablespoon of olive oil, giving them a delicious sheen.
Step 4
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken and corn on it, then close the lid.
Step 5
Grill them for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning the chicken once and rotating the corn as needed, until the chicken is fully cooked and the corn is beautifully charred.
Step 6
When they’re done, remove them from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board.
Step 7
Next, it’s time for the asparagus! Add it to the grill and cook for around 6 minutes, turning frequently until it’s tender and has those lovely char marks.
Step 8
After the chicken has cooled a bit, slice it diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
Step 9
Carefully cut the corn off the cobs and chop the asparagus into 1-inch pieces for easy eating.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, and the remaining olive oil to create a zesty dressing.
Step 11
Don’t forget to season it with salt and pepper to taste for that perfect balance.
Step 12
In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, charred corn, asparagus, chopped tomatoes, torn romaine lettuce, and sliced green onion.
Step 13
Drizzle your homemade dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to combine, allowing those vibrant flavors to mingle.
Step 14
Enjoy this fresh and colorful dish that’s perfect for a sunny day!.
