Ingredients

• 2 lemons
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 limes
• 2 cucumbers, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
• 0.25 cup sliced green onions, or to taste
• 0.5 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.

Step 5

Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Step 6

Cut chicken into long strips and place on salad. Squeeze remaining lemon and lime juice on salad at the last minute before serving.
