Directions:
Directions:
Marinate the chicken with the lime juice, vinegar, oil, coriander and garlic. You can marinate for up to 24 hours in advance, but even just marinating while you chop up the other ingredients makes a difference.

In a medium skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat with marinade until it is cooked through. Drain the marinade from the pan and discard. Add a small amount of oil (1 tsp) and coat the bottom of the pan. Sear the chicken over high heat until outside becomes browned, stirring often. Drain any extra oil.

In a bowl, combine chicken, avocados, tomatoes, onion, corn, olives, cilantro and cheese. Season with black pepper, oil and vinegar, as much as desired. Mix well and serve atop romaine leaves.
