Cook the 8 breaded chicken tenders in the oven or air fryer. While it cooks, dice and chop the 2 stocks romaine lettuce, 1/2 red onion, 1 avocado, 2 stocks green onions, 1 handful cilantro, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 jalapeno. Put these into a large bowl.
Make the hot honey sauce by mixing 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne powder, 2 tsp chili powder, and1/2 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Dice the crispy chicken and add it to the sauce. Toss to completely coat.
Make the yogurt sauce by mixing the 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, 1 1/2 tbsp mayonaise, juice from 1/2 a lime, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder in a small bowl or jar.
Combine the salad with the chicken and yogurt dressing. Finish with a squeeze from the juice from 1/2 a lime. If making this salad as meal prep, see notes below, and don't put the dressing on!
