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.
