I love salad. It's one of my favorite things to eat in the Summer time. Cool, nutritious and pretty to look at: so I'm always looking for new salad recipes. This one was pretty dang good. Aaron didn't like the oranges so he opted out of that, but other than that he liked it too. Tasty and beautiful, win win.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
seasoning salt
1/4 cup orange juice (I used an orange/mango juice)
1 Tb. mustard
1 Tb. Red wine vinegar
1 Tb. lemon juice
2 red bell peppers - quartered and seeded
1 mixed greens salad mix
1 orange, peeled and sectioned
2 green onions
2 Tb. slivered almonds
Directions
1. Mix together orange juice, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice. Set aside.
2. Cut chicken breasts in half, thickness wise, so that you have four thin halves. Sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt and take chicken and quartered red peppers out to bbq grill.
3. Brush one side of chicken with your orange juice mixture and put on the grill glaze side down. Once on the grill brush the other side with your glaze. Turn chicken every 5 minutes or so, brushing each side as it's turned. Continue in this way until chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, grill red peppers as well until soft.
4. Slice cooked chicken and peppers into thin strips. To serve salad, arrange greens on a plate - top with orange slices (I cut mine in half to make them smaller), chicken, peppers, almonds, sliced green onion and salad dressing of choice. We used a honey mustard dressing and the flavor went super well with the salad.
