Any tips on making a healthy but yummy grilled chicken salad?!
Answers: What should I marinate the chicken in, or do I not do that? What should I add to the salad to make it taste good so that Ill want to make more in the future?
Boneless chicken breast, sliced into strips (approx. 1 lb.)
Romaine lettuce (or any other leafy lettuce)
1 can mandarin oranges (whole segments)
Slivered blanched almonds
Olive oil and raspberry vinegar
Salt & pepper
Marinate chicken strips in a mixture of olive oil, raspberry vinegar and salt and pepper for 2 to 3 hours. Place chicken strips on grill and cook until done; set aside. Arrange freshly washed lettuce on a platter. Place chicken strips on lettuce and then add mandarin oranges. Make sure to allow some of the juice from the oranges to be sprinkled on the lettuce and chicken. Add the almonds, sprinkling them across the salad. Drizzle with a dressing of oil and vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.
Hope you enjoy!!!
Marinate the chicken with extra vigin olive oil, some ground peppers, and garlic. Leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Grill the chicken again using only olive oil.
In the dressing itself, use a light Italian dressing.
It'll taste good, and is actually good for you.
Mmm! Sounds good! Try making a chineese chicken salad with crumpled up sesemy, and those dried noodles, peanuts, and sweet molasisy sause!
yum!
don't marinate the chicken.... it's better to use a dressing later on.
1. get iceberg lettuce- wash, seperate and put desired amount in bowl.
2. add some cucumbers, tomatoes, ect.
3.grill chicken. NO SEASONING
4. cut chicken into strips and add to salad.
mix some mustard and honey for dressing or use different dressing.
ENJOY
To add a little zip to a healthy grilled chicken salad we like to spice up the boneless chicken breasts with a little seasoning (a favorite is Durn Good Seasoning), then spray lightly with Pam for Grilling. Or we'll lightly coat the boneless chicken breasts with olive oil before adding the seasoning.
For grilling times we like to use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com. Enter the details about your grill (charcoal or gas) and the thickness of each boneless chicken breast at its thickest part. It will give you instructions for when to put on and turn each chicken breast so that they all come off the grill at the same time, grilled nice and juicy.
We then cut the chicken into strips and put on a bed of nice greens. With the spice of the chicken all that's needed for a simple dressing is a little rice wine vinegar, and maybe a little feta cheese. Healthy and tasty!
