Grill the chicken:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 Remove the chicken from the grill and tent with foil. Let it rest and cool a bit for about 10 minutes and then slice or chop into bite-sized pieces.


Assemble the salad:
