  • Chicken:
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki marinade
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 (5 inch) corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salad:
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese


  1. Combine chicken breasts and teriyaki marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Combine cilantro, peanut butter, red wine vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and lime zest in a food processor; blend well. Pour in 1/2 cup olive oil slowly and blend until dressing is smooth. Add pepper; blend again.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread corn tortilla strips on a baking sheet; drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil on top.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until browned, 7 to 10 minutes per side. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
  6. Toss corn, black beans, and romaine lettuce together in a large bowl. Top with Monterey Jack cheese, chicken, and tortilla strips. Pour dressing over salad.
