Chicken:

• 1 chicken breast (cut in half horizontally to make two fillets)

• 1 tsp sweet paprika

• 1 tsp garlic granules

• 0.5 tsp chili seasoning (for chicken)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4–6 slices of jalapeño (fresh or pickled)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the chicken

• Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic granules, and chili seasoning.

• Let sit for a few minutes to marinate lightly.

• Grill on a preheated grill or grill pan for about 5–6 minutes on each side until golden and juicy inside.

• Towards the end of grilling, place jalapeño slices on each piece to warm them up slightly.

2. Make the salad

• Dice all the vegetables: lettuce, radishes, onion, bell pepper, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

• In a bowl, toss the vegetables with lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper.

• Mix thoroughly.

3. Serving
