Directions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken - If your chicken isn't pre-cooked, start by grilling or roasting it at medium-high heat (about 375°F) until it's fully cooked, around 20-25 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes, then dice it into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Step 2: Combine the Vegetables - Add the sweet corn and chopped cucumber to the bowl with the diced chicken. Add finely chopped red onion for added crunch and color.
- Step 3: Prepare the Dressing - In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lime juice until smooth. Stir in smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
- Step 4: Mix Everything Together - Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the large bowl and gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
- Step 5: Taste and Adjust Seasonings - Check the flavor and adjust seasonings by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to your liking.
- Step 6: Chill and Meld Flavors - Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Step 7: Serve and Garnish - Serve the salad in a dish, garnishing with crumbled feta cheese if desired.
