THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD
Gently poaching chicken breasts in an aromatic broth yields tender morsels for folding into a bright and herby homemade dressing. Serve it solo on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes or in half an avocado. It also makes a killer chicken club sandwich topped with crisp bacon and other sandwich fixings.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORN, QUINOA AND YOGURT DRESSING
While traditional chicken salad is rich with tender meat and mayonnaise, this one embraces pops of texture and color. Combining quinoa and corn, two staples in Inca, Aymara and Quechua cooking, is a great balancing act of earthy and sweet. For this salad's dressing, mashing onion and chile together with salt (like in guacamole) releases their assertive juices into a tangy blend of Greek yogurt and lime. Since this is a room temperature salad, you can make the chicken and quinoa and reserve them up to a few days ahead, or let the whole salad meld for up to 3 days in the fridge. Eat the dish on its own, over romaine or Little Gem leaves, or with more pops, such as pepitas, mint, radishes, jicama, Cotija or Parmesan.

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the chicken breasts, corn cobs, 1/2 onion and 1/2 jalapeño. Cover with about 1 inch of water and season generously with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the chicken is just cooked through (do not overcook!), 7 to 10 minutes. Skim most of the foam off the water; transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Discard the corn cobs, onion and jalapeño; leave the water in the pot.
- While the chicken cooks, coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 onion and 1/2 jalapeño together. Sprinkle with salt, then chop and smash using the side of your knife until a juicy, coarse paste forms. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer to a large bowl, along with the lime zest and juice.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, use two forks to shred it.
- To the reserved water in the pot, add the quinoa, bring to a boil, and cook according to package instructions until the quinoa grows white tails and is tender but not mushy. Drain the quinoa, run it under cold water until cool to the touch, then shake it very dry.
- Add the quinoa, corn kernels, chicken and yogurt to the large bowl and stir to combine; season to taste with salt. Serve over lettuce leaves, if desired, and top with any garnishes, if using. The chicken-quinoa mixture keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and adjust seasonings with salt and lime juice as needed, as flavors will shift from the chill of the fridge.

Steps:
- Mix 1 tbsp paprika, the oregano, 1 tbsp chipotle, cinnamon, garlic, lime zest and 2 tbsp oil together in a bowl with some seasoning. Pour over the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then cover and chill for at least a few hours, or up to 24 hrs.
- Light the barbecue and let the flames die down, or heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, the remaining oil, ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle and the honey with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Brush the corn cobs with a little oil, then cook it and the marinated chicken on the barbecue or in the griddle pan for about 10 mins, turning often until the chicken is cooked through (it should be charred and firm to the touch - check it's done by cutting into one of the thickest pieces) and the corn is bright yellow and juicy.
- Transfer the chicken and corn to a board or plate and cover to keep warm. Arrange the lettuce, beans, tomatoes and avocado on a large platter or in a serving bowl, but wait to toss together until just before serving - this helps keep the lettuce leaves from wilting.
- Cut the wraps into strips or small pieces. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the strips until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
- Slice the cooked chicken into 1cm strips and cut the charred corn from the cob. Add to the salad, then drizzle over the dressing and any juice from the chicken and toss. Scatter over the coriander and crispy tortilla strips, and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
