How To Make cilantro lime grilled chicken breast with southwest yellow rice salad

• 
  Step 1
  Begin marinade for the chicken by adding chopped cilantro to zest and juice of 2 limes to a bowl and mix well. In a casserole dish, place 4 chicken breasts and sprinkle 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle spices evenly on all 4. Pour cilantro lime marinade over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  Step 2
  Yellow rice salad begins with preparing rice as directed on the package.
• 
  Step 3
  While the rice is cooking, grill the fresh corn. Start a fire in the grill (I use charcoal but you could use gas just make sure you have nice high heat to start). You could also do this inside on a grill pan if you have no outside grill! I like to get my fire really hot all coals burning then take a paper towel with olive oil and rub the grill to make sure chicken does not stick. When coals are ready medium to high heat place corn on fire grill about 6-8 minutes then remove from grill to cool.

  Step 4
  When rice is done, remove it to a large bowl fluff and allow to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to mix salad.
• 
  Step 5
  Once corn is cooled, cut it from the cob.
• 
  Step 6
  In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, corn, black beans, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and red onion toss well set aside while making the dressing.
• 
  Step 7
  In a food processor add adobe sauce, 1 sliced avocado, juice of 1 lime, and sea salt. Pulse 3-4 times until smooth and creamy. Then slowly add extra virgin olive oil while the processor is running until incorporated.
• 
  Step 8
  Remove from processor bowl and add to salad. Toss well and return to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 9
  Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill. Grill 4 minutes on each side then turn and grill again to get grill marks crisscrossed. Total 8 minutes on each side. Watch the fire. If it flames, spray with water to get rid of flames. When grilling is done remove to the side of grill with low heat. Then leave there to finish cooking for about 10-15 minutes.

  Step 10
  Plating start with 2-3 serving spoons of yellow rice salad. Top with chicken breast that has been sliced on the diagonal. Top with 4 slices of fresh avocado. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lime.
