𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 :

Step 1 - In a large bowl, make chicken marinade with ACV, orange, oil, garlic, shallot, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, pepper.

Step 2 - Cut the chicken breasts in half and add to the marinade.

Step 3 - Let them sit for at least 10 minutes. The longer the better.

Step 4 - Meanwhile, gather all other ingredients.

Step 5 - Once the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 350º.

Step 6 - Add the chicken and the marinate to a baking dish.

Step 7 - Bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 8 - Chicken will vary in size so please be sure to check that internal temp is at 165º.

Step 9 - Let the chicken rest.

Step 10 - While it's resting, slice and seed the pepper, slice tomatoes, chop romaine and microwave the corn and beans in a microwave safe bowl for about 1 minute to get the "chill" out of them. Skip if corn is fresh.

Step 11 - In a small high speed blender or food processor, add all the dressing ingredients together and whiz until it's well combined. The dressing will taste a little tangy, it's so good on the salad. Feel free to add a little more salt if needed.

Step 12 - Slice or cube up chicken.

Step 13 - In a large bowl add romaine, peppers, tomatoes, seeds, cheese, beans, corn, dressing and mix well.

Step 14 - Add chicken to the top and serve. Optional to add sliced avocado as well. Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the top.
