For chicken and marinade:

- 1 lime juiced, and zested
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt

DRESSING:

Instructions
- Place the chicken in a shallow dish and add 1 tbsp of the oil, lime juice plus zest, garlic, and seasonings. Rub the chicken well, then cover the dish and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes over the counter. If time allows, you can marinate in the fridge overnight.
- Meanwhile, combine all dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the other 1 tbsp of oil. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow the chicken to slightly cool, then slice it.
- While the chicken cools, add all the salad ingredients to a bowl.
- Top with juicy chicken and drizzle the dressing over.
