Indian-Style Grilled Chicken Salad
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 3.5 tablespoons tandoori paste
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 dash balsamic vinegar
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups chopped lettuce
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 0.75 cup sliced radishes
- 0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
Steps
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Make the chicken: Combine olive oil, tandoori paste, chili powder, hot sauce, lemon juice, coriander, oregano, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Brush sauce all over chicken until coated; discard any remaining sauce.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and slice.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the dressing: Mix lemon juice, vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Make the salad: Combine lettuce, tomatoes, onion, carrots, radishes, carrots, and bell pepper in a large bowl.
- Remove chicken from the grill. Slice chicken and add to salad. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat.
