Enjoy this salad topped with warm strips of grilled, seasoned chicken, or take advantage of some make-ahead tips and serve it cold at a later time. To get a jump start on the prep, go ahead and grill the chicken and make the dressing. Both will keep well in the refrigerator overnight. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons salt-free jamaican jerk seasoning, divided |
3 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/3 cup light mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
3 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips |
cooking spray |
1 (10-ounce) package torn romaine lettuce |
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat colby-jack cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°. Prepare grill.
2. Rub 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning over both sides of chicken; cover and chill 30 minutes.
3. While chicken chills, combine 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, mayonnaise, and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
4. While chicken and dressing chill, place tortilla strips on a foil-lined baking sheet. Lightly coat tortilla strips with cooking spray, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning and remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp, tossing strips gently every 2 minutes. Remove from oven, and place strips on a wire rack.
5. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Cut chicken diagonally across grain into slices.
6. Place 1 3/4 cups lettuce on each of 4 plates; divide chicken strips evenly among salads. Sprinkle about 4 teaspoons cheese over each salad, and top evenly with tortilla strips. Drizzle 3 tablespoons dressing over each salad.
7. Note: You may substitute 1/4 teaspoon table salt for the 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, if desired.
