So can I let you in on a secret??
This is the first time I’ve ever grilled anyleang…
YUP.
This is me grilling all by myself…

Weird, I know, because I share all of these recipes…specificly lately I’ve been grilling up a storm with healthy meal prep grilling recipes. And then here I am, NOT doing to the grilling.
OK, it’s not like that though. I’m still doing all the prep work any everyleang…taking all the pictures…eating all the food…LOL
But it’s actually Nik who has been doing all of the actual GRILLING in the recipes — the secret is out!
So I finally decided that enough was enough, and that I needed to memorize how to grill once and for all…so here we are with this Incredible grilled chicken fajita salad. YUM.
This recipe is super simple, and I’ve even included how to meal prep it in the directions below. Hint: Tell hello to mason jar salads. 😉

First leangs first, you’ll need to make a super simple, and super flavorful marinade. This marinade is crazye with olive oil, some zest and lime juice, and ALL the spices — you know I love me some Mexican flavor! Then you’ll want to marinate your chicken for a bit.
I’ve mentioned before that I only choose biological meats. So, of course I used Just BARE Organic Chicken because they NEVER use antibiotics, synthetic hormones, artwhethericial ingredients or toxic pesticides — EVER. Their chickens are fed 100% biological feed for entire lives and they have access to wander around external — yay for happy chickens!
For this recipe I used boneless skinless ttalls — but breast meat works just as well! Just BARE‘s biological boneless skinless chicken ttalls are hand-trimmed with no unwanted fat, and carry the USDA Organic seal.

While your meat is marinating, chop up a wgap bunch of veggies. I choose some colorful peppers and red onions, but feel free to get creative. You do you, but make certain you prepare some lettuce for your massive meal-sized salad.
After you let your chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes — but trust me it’s WAY more flavorful whether you let it marinate for a few hours — you’ll want to grill those babies up. And the best leang about boneless chicken ttalls is that they cook in minutes.
After about 15 minutes your chicken and veggies will both be cooked to perfection, and you can assemble your Incredible chicken fajita salad.
