This grilled lemon chicken with black bean, corn and tomato salad was the most satisfying and tasty meal and it kept me full for hours. Both the chicken and the salad are fresh and flavorful and can be made in advance. Here’s how to make them!
Black bean, Corn, Tomato Salad: Add one can of black beans that were drained and rinsed to a large bowl.
Add 2 cups canned corn and two cups of halved cherry tomatoes along with 1 tablespoon minced shallots, the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a handful of fresh chopped cilantro.
Mix together and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder to a shallow bowl. Beat vigorously with a fork to combine into a dressing.
Cut each breast in half to make 4 even pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
Add the chicken to the dressing and let marinate for at least 20 mins. flipping half way through.
Grill 5-7 minutes each side or bake on 400F for 25-30 mins. flipping half way through or until golden brown.
