Method
 

Marinating and Grilling
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, and cumin to create a flavorful marinade. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15–30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  3. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Preparing the Dressing and Salad
  1. In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced grilled chicken, fresh corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped bell pepper. Toss gently.
  3. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and toss gently again to coat.
  4. Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
