  • 2limes
  • 6skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1tablespoonlemon-pepper seasoning, divided
  • ½headiceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 4carrots, chopped
  • 2tomatoes, chopped
  • 2cucumbers, chopped

  • Directions

    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.

    Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

    Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.

    Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.

    Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

    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.

    You can also sprinkle additional lemon-pepper seasoning on the salad.
