Grilled Chicken Salad With Corn Peppers And Tortilla Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife cut 3-4 diagonal slits in each cutlet.
• Place onto a lined small baking pan.
• Combine marinade ingredients and pour over chicken cutlets.
• Place on oven rack 8-10 inches away from top.
• Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes.
• Remove from oven, cover, and let sit for ½ hour.
• Combine salad ingredients.
• Combine all dressing ingredients well by hand.
• Pour over salad ½ hour before serving.
• When chicken is cool, cut into strips.
• Toss salad with dressing and chicken.

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken:
• In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
• Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
• In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
• In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, in a blender, blend together the barbecue sauce, vinegar, olive oil, avocado and chipotle for 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. Reserve dressing in refrigerator until ready to use.
• To make the tortillas, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the tortillas into thin strips and spray them with the olive oil. Place the tortilla strips on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy.
• To assemble the salad, in a mixing bowl, toss the greens with the dressing. Place a portion of the salad greens on each plate. Place 1 julienned chicken breast on top of each salad. Then spoon some of the salsa on top of salad. Finally, sprinkle each salad with the crispy tortillas.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a small dish of water next to your work surface. To make the tortilla bowls, place 4 empty (15-ounce) cans, open side down, on a baking pan. Using a pastry brush, soften the tortillas by brushing both sides with a little water, and then brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Drape the tortillas over the cans and bake until firm, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using tongs, turn the tortilla bowls right side up, discard the cans, and continue to bake until golden and crisp, another 4 minutes.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until it's fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, chipotles with adobo sauce, and 1/2 cup water, cooking until slightly thick, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the beans and cook until heated through, season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Place the tortilla bowls right side up on plates and fill each with a handful of greens. Divide the bean mixture between the tortilla bowls and top with a sprinkle of feta. Fan the sliced chicken on top and garnish with chopped cilantro. Drizzle with a little olive oil and serve with lime wedges.
• Delicioso Adobo Grilled Chicken
• Combine all of the ingredients in a small glass jar with an airtight lid and shake to blend. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
• Season chicken with the adobo seasoning. Heat a grill pan to medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with oil. Place the chicken on the grill pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side depending on the size of the breasts.
• Note: This recipe for adobo is a staple seasoning for many of my Latin recipes. You can make a large batch, store it in an airtight container and use it as a flavor enhancer in your favorite dishes.
• Yield: about 1/2 cup adobo, 6 servings
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Ease of preparation: Easy

Steps:

• In a skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken until no longer pink. To assemble, place tortillas on serving plates. Spread with mayonnaise. Top with lettuce, chicken, tomato, onion, carrot and cheese. Serve with salsa if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix black beans, salsa, 1/2 cup cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl; set aside.
• Stir chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until smooth; rub mixture over chicken breasts.
• Cook chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). While the chicken is cooking, place tortillas on grill and grill until lightly brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into long thin strips. Divide chicken strips over tortillas and top with bean mixture, lettuce, and remaining 1/2 cup cilantro. Serve with avocado, lime wedges, and sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes; set aside until just cool enough to handle. Slice the kernels off of the cob and place into a bowl.
• Combine the warm corn kernels with the green pepper, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss until evenly mixed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.

Steps:

• FOR THE CHIPOTLE: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together oil, lemon juice, chipotle, garlic, oregano, lime rind and salt,.
• FOR THE SALAD: Remove 1 tablespoons of the dressing and brush on both sides of chicken. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill 6-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 185F on meat thermometer. Transfer to cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips. Chicken can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
• In a large serving bowl, combine chicken, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and red pepper; toss with remaining dressing. Divide salad greens among plates and evenly distribute salad over top.
