Romaine lettuce

3 heart(s), halved lengthwise or chopped

Plain low fat Greek yogurt

Corn on the cob

2 ear(s), medium, lightly charred

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken, oregano, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Let marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. Just before cooking, squeeze the juice of the 1/2 lemon over chicken.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, shallot, pickle, and pepper until well combined. Season with additional oregano, salt, garlic salt, and black pepper to taste.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the garlic scapes in 1 tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp in spots, stirring often. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add to garlic scapes.
  4. Grill the chicken on medium on 1 side for 3 to 4 minutes, until grill marks appear and chicken releases from grill grate easily. Flip chicken and cook another 2 to 4 minutes, until cooked through and thermometer inserted into center reads 160ºF. Cool slightly, then chop.
  5. Arrange the romaine on a platter. Top with chicken. Drizzle with some of the dressing, then spoon the corn mixture on top.
