Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For salad:

  • 1 small chicken breast
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 ear of corn
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan

For chicken:

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp corn starch

Ingredients for dressing:

  •  2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 a clove of garlic (minced)

Instructions

1. Mix corn starch, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder for chicken breast in a small bowl (the cayenne pepper will make the chicken spicy, so if you don’t like spicy, skip the cayenne)

2. Trim the chicken breast to your liking and flatten it using a meat mallet on a cutting board

3. Rub the olive oil with your hands evenly on both sides of the chicken breast. Then, generously spread the seasoning evenly on the chicken breast

4.  Air fry chicken for 7 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you will flip the chicken and air fry for another 7 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees

5. While the chicken is in the air fryer, peel the garlic and wash the veggies in the sink using cool, running water. Slice the tomatoes in half and mince the garlic with a knife on a cutting board

6.  Wrap the ear of corn in a wet paper towel and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let corn cool for a few minutes

7. Whisk together ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl with a fork

8. Carefully slice the corn off the ear and slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces once out of the air fryer

9. Assemble salad by tossing arugula, corn, tomatoes, chicken, parmesan and the dressing together.
