Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb  Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder double if you like it spicy!
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsps Olive oil divided
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice
  • 8 cups Salad greens
  • 1 cup Red onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup Black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Corn
  • 8 tbsp  Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado dressing 

Instructions
 

  • Preheating your air fryer to 400°F and lightly spraying the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and salt.
  • Brush the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously sprinkle the seasoning on both sides.
  • Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes. Flip, then cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden. While the chicken is cooking, it’s time to prep the rest of the salad.
  • In another small bowl, stir together the corn, black beans, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lime juice. 
  • Next, chop the red onion.
  • Divide the lettuce into four bowls.
  • Top each with the tomatoes, red onion, and the corn and bean mixture.
  • Once the chicken is done, slice it into strips and add it to each salad bowl. 
  • Drizzle with Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado dressing—or your favorite dressing—and dig in!
