100g
2 cups lettuce
90g
2 tomatoes
250g
2 tbsp sour cream
24g
1 tbsp BBQ sauce

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:
- Start by preheating your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Lightly coat the chicken breasts with the cooking spray oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper or any of your favorite seasonings.
2. Grill the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill or grill pan.
- Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Once cooked, brush the chicken with the BBQ sauce, ensuring an even coating.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. Prepare the Sweet Corn:
- While the chicken is cooking, shuck the ear of sweet corn and remove any silk.
- Lightly coat the corn with cooking spray.
- Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred in spots and tender.
- Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Chop the lettuce and place it into a large bowl.
- Dice the tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Add the grilled corn kernels to the salad.
5. Dress the Salad:
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the salad ingredients.
- Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and ensure everything is well coated.
6. Serve:
- Arrange the BBQ chicken strips on top of the salad.
- Drizzle a little more BBQ sauce over the top if desired for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful BBQ Chicken Salad!

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken breasts in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavor.

- Grill the corn on the cob until it develops a slight char for an extra smoky taste.

- Consider using a mix of different lettuce varieties for added texture and flavor.

- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the salad for a zesty finish.

- Use freshly made pico de gallo instead of plain tomatoes for an additional kick.

- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
