The final recipe that was created by Chef Curtis South for the Biggest Loser Tailgating event. I think I could eat this salad every day, it was so pretty. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon cumin |
1/4 teaspoon fennel |
1/4 teaspoon coriander |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder |
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped fine |
1/2 cucumber, peeled, de-seeded, and finely diced |
4 cups mixed baby greens |
4 sprigs fresh cilantro |
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
Directions:
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan.
2. On a clean work surface lay out several even layers of plastic wrap approximately 1 foot wide and place one chicken breast over the plastic.
3. Cover the chicken with another piece of layered plastic and lightly pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet or meat tenderizer until the chicken breast is thinned out to about a 1/2 inch thickness, being careful not to rip or tear the chicken breast. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
4. Lightly brush the grill with a little vegetable oil.
5. Season each side of the chicken generously with the spice mix and reserve any remaining spice mix for a later use in an airtight container.
6. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done.
7. While the chicken is cooking mix the lemon juice, garlic, cucumber and yogurt in a small mixing bowl until well incorporated.
8. Remove the chicken from the grill to a plate and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange the greens on a large serving platter. Place the chicken breasts atop the greens and drizzle the sauce over and around the chicken. Garnish the chicken with cilantro leaves and serve.
