  • Add wine, and bring to boil. Stir in the herbs, capers, and tuna; add the chicken. Transfer skillet to oven, and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken; transfer to cutting board.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder and salt. Stir together orange juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, and half of the garlic; pour over chicken. Bake, basting occasionally, until chicken is cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, 10 minutes; shred with two forks.
  • Meanwhile, char corn over flame of a gas stove, turning with tongs, until blackened and blistering, about 3 minutes per cob. Transfer to a plate until cool enough to handle. Remove kernels: Working 1 ear at a time, stand corn in a wide shallow bowl; with a sharp knife, slice downward to remove kernels. Season with salt.
  • Soak onion in remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice and pickling liquid, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup oil and remaining 1/8 teaspoon ancho chili powder. Season with salt. Set aside dressing.
  • In a medium skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add remaining garlic, cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add beans; toss to coat and heat through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in 2 tablespoons lime dressing.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss lettuce and chopped cilantro with 6 tablespoons dressing. Season with salt. Divide lettuce among 4 bowls. Line half of each bowl with 1/2 cup tortilla chips. Divide chicken, corn, beans, tomato, avocado, and cheese among 4 bowls. Top with cilantro leaves and pickled jalapenos. Drizzle with additional dressing, if desired. Serve immediately.

4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 1/8 teaspoons ancho chili powder
Coarse salt
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 large limes)
7 tablespoons canola oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
4 ears corn, shucked
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup drained pickled jalapenos, plus 3 tablespoons pickling liquid
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 hearts of romaine, shredded (10 cups)
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more leaves for garnish
2 cups tortilla chips
2 large ripe tomatoes (10 ounces), cut into small pieces (about 2 cups)
2 small avocados, peeled, seeded and cut into small pieces
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)

CHICKEN TONNATO SALAD

Many are familiar with tonnato (tuna) sauce: it is spooned over chilled veal or chicken breast slices to make a tasty meal. However in this version, it is the dressing which coats the salad ingredients and makes quite an impressive salad that is perfect for company. I received a new cookbook last week and this recipe plus 2 more leaped out at me "to try first." The book is "Easy Pasta" published by Ryland, Peters, and Small. Note that though the list of ingredients is long, the gremolata is actually made from many of the same ingredients as the dressing, but roughly chopped. If you are not a purist (I'm not!), you can also substitute rotisserie chicken for the chicken in the recipe. Be sure to zest your lemon before you juice it and use a well flavored tuna for this salad; tuna packed in oil generally has the best flavor. Cooling time for the chicken is not included in the timing. Prepare the chicken in the morning for afternoon service. This is the perfect salad for Memorial Day or Fourth of July.

Steps:

  • First, prepare the chicken. Pour the broth and wine in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, add the onion, celery, bay leaf, lemon and peppercorns and simmer 5 minutes. Carefully lower the chicken breasts into the broth in a single layer, adding some boiling water, if needed, to cover them. Bring back to a boil, then turn the heat right down and simmer very slowly for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat off, cover the pan, and allow the chicken to cool in the broth. (This will take about 4-5 hours.).
  • When the chicken is cool, make the dressing. Put the tuna in a food processor with the capers, lemon juice, and anchovies. Process until you have a paste. Add the mayonnaise and cayenne and process again until smooth. Turn into a large bowl. Put all the ingredients for the gremolata in another bowl and mix them together to combine.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, or according to package directions. Refresh with cold water.
  • Once the chicken is cool, make the dressing. Put the tuna in a food processor with the capers, lemon juice, and anchovies. Process until you have a paste. Add the mayonnaise and cayenne pepper and process again until smooth. Turn into a large bowl. Put all the ingredients for the gremolata in another bowl and mix them together to combine.
  • Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and cut into rough chunks. Add the chicken, pasta and gremolata to the dressing and toss lightly. Check the seasoning adding more lemon juice or cayenne to taste (you shouldn't need salt.).
  • To serve: arrange a handful of salad leaves on each plate, scatter over a few tomatoes, then spoon the salad on top. Arrange the artichoke hearts, if using, over the top and sprinkle with the roughly chopped parsley.

CHICKEN TONNATO (LIGHTENED & BRIGHTENED)

From the *Best Ever Chicken* cookbook edited by Linda Fraser & the intro says "This low-fat version of the Italian dish *Vitello Tonnato* is garnished w/fine strips of red pepper instead of the traditional anchovy fillets." The pic of the finished product was stunning & IMO this recipe works equally well as a luncheon entree for 4, starter course for 8 or dinner main-course if served w/bread &/or a veggie side dish of choice. (Time does not include cooling or chilling time). *Enjoy* !
