Ingredients: 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes; 1 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 tsp paprika; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tbsp olive oil; avocado oil spray, for cooking; 1/2 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce; 1 tbsp honey; 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped; 1 cucumber, diced; 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved; 3 green onions, sliced; 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained; 1 large avocado, cubed; 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 1/2 lemon, for juice; 1 cup plain Greek yogurt; 2 tbsp red wine vinegar; 1 tbsp Dijon mustard; 1 tsp garlic powder (for dressing); 1/2 tsp salt (for dressing); 1/4 tsp black pepper (for dressing); 1 tbsp honey (for dressing)

1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

2

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

3

Spray a large pan with avocado oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for a few minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

4

Reduce the heat, then add the sugar-free BBQ sauce and honey to the pan. Stir to coat the chicken completely and let it simmer for a minute.

5

While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing. In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and honey until smooth.

6

Assemble the salad. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, drained corn, and cubed avocado.

7

Top the salad with the warm BBQ chicken, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

8

Pour the creamy dressing over the salad, toss everything together, and serve immediately.
