A blender is the secret to this simple chicken recipe that features a flavour-charged homemade dressing that acts as both the marinade for the chicken and the dressing for the salad. The accompanying salad features creamy avocado, crunchy radishes, sharp red onion, and sweet corn. If fresh corn isn’t available, you can thawed frozen corn kernels instead.
