Grilled Chicken And Pepper Salad Recipes

GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Roll lemons and limes on a cutting board to release the juices; cut in half and squeeze 1/2 of the juice onto chicken breasts. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon-pepper seasoning, and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Toss lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions together in a large salad bowl.
• Turn marinated chicken over and sprinkle other side with remaining lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• Cut chicken into long strips and place on salad. Squeeze remaining lemon and lime juice on salad at the last minute before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Process yogurt, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and garlic in a blender until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer half of mixture to a small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt and set aside. Transfer remaining mixture to a dish; add chicken, turn to coat, and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
• Preheat grill to high (450°F to 500°F) and lightly oil grates. Grill chicken, covered, flipping once, until grill marks appear and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°F, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss peppers, onion, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Grill peppers and onion, uncovered, until charred and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from grill. Grill pitas, covered, flipping once, until warmed through and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
• Slice chicken and coarsely chop onion. Serve chicken on greens with peppers, onion, reserved yogurt mixture, and pitas.
