Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad With Avocado and Parmesan

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
* 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* kosher salt and black pepper
* 2 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 3 ears corn, shucked
* 5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 cups)
* 1 avocado, cut into bite-size pieces
* 2 ounces Parmesan, shaved

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer half the dressing to a small bowl; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining dressing and turn to coat.

2. Rub the corn with the remaining tablespoon of oil and season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the corn and chicken, covered, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes, and the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut the kernels off the cobs and slice the chicken.

3. Toss the spinach, chicken, corn, and avocado with the reserved dressing and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
