    How to Make Grilled Chicken Salad with Rustic Guacamole, Romaine, and Queso Añejo

    1. Prepare the Dressing

    Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and green chiles, letting them sizzle for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add lime juice, cilantro, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth.

    2. Marinate the Chicken

    Divide the dressing into three parts. Use one part to marinate the chicken breasts.

    3. Grill Chicken and Onion

    Preheat the grill, brush onion slices with oil, sprinkle with salt, and grill alongside the chicken. Chicken should be cooked for about 5 minutes on each side, and onions for 3-4 minutes per side.

    4. Make Rustic Guacamole

    Cut and scoop avocados into a bowl. Chop grilled onions, add to avocados with another part of the dressing, and mash together.

    5. Toss the Romaine

    In a large bowl, toss the romaine ribbons with the remaining dressing until evenly coated.

    6. Assemble the Salad

    Arrange dressed romaine on plates, add cubed grilled chicken, spoonfuls of guacamole, and sprinkle with queso añejo.
