Step 8: Transfer the plantains to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly season with salt.

Step 13: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 14: Arrange the sliced grilled chicken, fried plantains, corn, and fresh salad on serving plates.

Step 15: Serve immediately while the chicken and plantains are warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the chicken, plantains, corn, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat the chicken in a skillet, oven, or microwave until warmed through.

Plantains are best reheated in a skillet or air fryer to maintain their texture.

Store the salad and dressing separately to keep the vegetables crisp.

For best flavor and texture, enjoy the fried plantains within 2 days of preparation.
