Grilled Chicken Salad With Corn, Peppers, And Tortilla Chip
Servings: 1
Directions
- Prepare the chicken:In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 min or possibly up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil.
- Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set
- about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 min on each side, or possibly till it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled
- on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 min.
- Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
- In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or possibly till they are golden brown, transferring them with a slotted spatula
- as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt.
- The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
- In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add in the lime juice, the oregano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper
- to taste, and toss the mix till it is combined well. Cut the chicken
- lengthwise into thin slices and add in it to the corn mix with any juices
- which have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.
- Serves 4.
