Provided by Karina - Cafe Delites

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

Marinade/Dressing:
4 skinless (, boneless chicken thigh fillets)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro ((or flat-leaf parsley))
2 cloves garlic (, crushed)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2-3/4 teaspoon red chilli flakes ((adjust to your preference of spice))
1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt ((or sour cream) -- FOR DRESSING ONLY)
4 cups romaine ((cos) lettuce leaves, washed and dried)
1 cup grape / cherry tomatoes (, halved)
1 ripe avocado (, sliced)
1 cup black beans (, washed and rinsed)
1 cup corn (, washed and rinsed)

Steps:

Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine, or pulse in a magic bullet using a small cup OR a small food processor until blended (all except for the greek yogurt). Pour half the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as the dressing.
Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, tomatoes, avocado slices, black beans, corn and chicken.
Prepare dressing with remaining marinade/dressing with the 1/4 cup greek yogurt; mix well to combine OR pulse in a small food processor or magic bullet small cup.
Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad; divide into 4 bowls and serve.

In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, cumin, chili powder and sea salt. Add the chicken halves and toss to cover them with marinade. Place in the fridge and marinate for 20 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients (I recommend prepping the avocado once the chicken is cooked to avoid browning)
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove visible garlic pieces from the chicken (to avoid them burning) and brown 2-3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and continue cooking for 6-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside) but still tender.
Place on a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and slice (I use a tong to hold the chicken while I cut it)
Arrange all salad ingredients (except dressing and lime wedges) in a large salad bowl or two plates, top with chicken pieces and drizzle with avocado ranch. Serve with extra lime wedges and enjoy!

Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Then either chill in the refrigerator or let come to room temperature. You can do this step anytime you want! (e.g., Way ahead of time or while you are making the salad. It is also a great way to use up leftover quinoa).Note: I prepare quinoa using a rice cooker to make this step super easy (I will discuss this in an upcoming post). I prefer to use room temperature quinoa in this salad, but chilled tastes great, too.
Wash and de-stem the spinach by either cutting or pulling off the stems (I just pull them off by hand).
