Easy, summery salad; great for all those low-carb eaters. I make this lemon-pepper chicken salad for my husband when he is on his Atkins® diet.
Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 2 limes
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
- ½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cucumbers, chopped
- ¼ cup sliced green onions, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.
Step 5
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Step 6
Cut chicken into long strips and place on salad. Squeeze remaining lemon and lime juice on salad at the last minute before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
You can squeeze a little more citrus juice on the chicken while it is grilling if you like.
