I made this recipe to use up some leftover grilled chicken. The chicken was grilled using a Caribbean Jerk marinade, so I wanted to enhance that characteristic. This is the recipe I ended up creating, the kids loved it and so did I. Cooking time is actually chilling time. Ingredients:
1/2 grilled chicken breast |
1/2 cup seedless black grapes |
1 black plum |
1 stalk celery |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon molasses |
1 dash black pepper |
1 dash ground cumin |
1 dash dill weed |
1 dash allspice |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 lime |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons pecans, chips |
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken, plum, and celery into bite-sized pieces and cut the grapes in half.
2. Zest and juice the 1/2 lime, or use 3 whole limes if using key limes.
3. Roughly chop the cilantro.
4. In a bowl, mix the fruit, chicken, lime juice and zest together with all the remaining ingredients.
5. Chill for 1/2 hour and serve.
