The Ultimate Grilled Chicken Salad | Serves 5
🍴INGREDIENTS🍴
Grilled Chicken:
4x 5oz/150g boneless skinless Chicken Thighs
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp EACH: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Salt
1/4 tsp EACH: Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper
Chipotle Mayo (makes big batch!):
3/4 cup / 180g Mayo
1-2 tbsp Chipotle Paste (see notes)
1/2 Lime, juice only (or to taste)
1 small clove of Garlic, minced & smoothed with the blade of your knife
1/4 cup / 60ml Milk, or as needed to thin out dressing
Salad:
2 large heads of Romaine Lettuce, chopped
8 strips of Bacon, cooked & chopped
7oz / 200g Baby Plum or Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 large Avocado, sliced or diced
1/2 cup Crispy Fried Onions, or to preference
🍴METHOD🍴
Marinate Chicken: In medium sized mixing bowl whisk together smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lime juice and olive oil. Add in chicken thighs and combine until they're all completely covered with the marinade. Marinate for as long as you have time for (up to overnight). If you're in a rush just rest at room temp as you prep the other ingredients.
Chipotle Mayo: In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise with chipotle paste, lime juice and garlic. Gradually add in milk 1 tbsp at a time to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Grill Chicken: Bring chicken close to room temp if you marinated it in the fridge, then add to a griddle pan over medium high heat. Fry until the chicken begins to char (4-5mins), then flip and continue frying until charred on the second side and piping hot right through the centre. Place to one side to rest then slice just before needed.
Salad: Add lettuce to a large salad bowl. Add chicken, avocado, bacon, tomatoes and half of the crispy onions. Drizzle over a few dollops of the dressing (don't go overboard!) then toss to combine. Serve individual portions with more dressing and crispy onions as needed.
