This dish combines the smoky flavor of grilled chicken with the vibrant sweetness of corn salad, creating a memorable meal that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Hot Honey Marinade

  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Corn Salad

  • 2 ears of fresh sweet corn
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Begin by combining hot honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those fabulous flavors.
  2. Prepare the Corn Salad: While the chicken is marinating, grill or boil the corn until tender. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob and mix them in a bowl with diced bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss everything together and set aside.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring it is perfectly cooked and juicy.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Once the chicken is grilled, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve the sliced chicken over a generous portion of the sweet corn salad, drizzling any remaining hot honey on top for an extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • Don’t Skip the Marinade: Allowing the chicken to marinate enhances its flavor and tenderness significantly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce not only tastes better but also elevates the dish visually.
  • Preheat the Grill: A hot grill ensures perfect grill marks and prevents the chicken from sticking.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the chicken to rest after grilling to retain its juices, making each bite succulent.
  • Experiment with Herbs: Feel free to mix in different herbs like parsley or basil for a unique twist on the salad.
