Instructions

    1.
    Season the chicken breasts in a plastic zip-top bag with the marinade ingredients. Massage the bag well to ensure the meat is fully coated. Set aside to marinate. Preheat a grill until very hot.
    2.
    While the chicken marinates, prepare all the vegetables as described in the ingredients list. Divide the romaine lettuce and toppings evenly between four bowls.
    3.
    Grill the chicken over medium-high heat. Grill on the first side for 5 minutes, then flip and grill the other side for 3-5 minutes. Continue flipping every 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes total. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on top of the salad in each bowl. Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of salsa and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
