Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine finely chopped chipotle peppers, your choice of spices, and olive oil to create a zesty marinade. Coat the chicken breasts evenly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Grill chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the chicken is resting, add greens to a large salad bowl, ensuring they are washed and dried properly.
  4. Layer sliced chicken on top of the greens, followed by corn, avocado, bacon, and strawberries.
  5. Drizzle with cilantro vinaigrette, tossing gently to combine without bruising the greens. Serve immediately.
