1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped red cabbage
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 avocado, diced

Instructions
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Brush the chicken breasts with the spice rub on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, red cabbage, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, cilantro, and green onions.
Add the diced grilled chicken and gently toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, Sriracha sauce, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped roasted peanuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sriracha Lime Chicken Chopped Salad.
