Charred Chipotle-Lime Chicken Salad

A protein-packed taste of summer to get you through these chilly winter months.

Hey gang!

This week’s meal prep salad is the next installment in my chicken salad series & is a little taste of summer for the cold winter months. It’s loaded with tons of goodies like pan-seared chicken breast, charred corn, poblano peppers, black beans, cotija cheese, and all tossed in a high-protein, smoky, creamy chipotle dressing.

I’m continuing to roll out the printable recipe cards I started last week, so please keep the feedback coming and let me know what you think!

Macros, low-calorie/high-protein versions, and a printable recipe card with a grocery list can be found at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy!
