INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 8 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 2 oranges - peeled, segmented, and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, shallots, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and sugar. Pour 1/2 of this mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag, and add the chicken breasts. Seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Refrigerate the remaining dressing.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. In a large salad bowl, toss romaine lettuce with oranges, celery, and green onions. Set aside.
  3. Lightly oil grate, and place chicken on grill. Discard the marinade from the chicken. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes each side, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from grill, and slice into thin strips.
  4. Toss salad with reserved dressing, and top with sliced chicken.

The chicken came out nice with a very interesting flavor. I sauteed the chicken and it was very flavorful.

This was really good...the only changes I made were: I used sweet red onion in place of the green onion (I didn't have any) and I tossed in a few black beans that were sitting in the fridge (waste not want not!) It was wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe.
