SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SALAD
A wonderful blend of spices, herbs, and a bit of a "bite" from the jalapeno combine so well with the chicken and corn in this salad. One of my favorites! If you can't get fresh corn, you may substitute frozen corn.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SALAD
We like to have this for dinner during the summer - a tasty light meal that doesn't heat up the kitchen. You could serve tortilla chips on the side, if you want.

Steps:
- Smoke the chicken in a stove-top smoker according to the instructions with the smoker, using mesquite chips. In the meantime, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet on the stove over medium heat. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn. Cook the bacon to a crisp consistency and drain on a paper towel. Chop when cool. Save drippings for another use. (Cornbread is a good pairing, so the drippings can be used in a cast iron skillet for that preparation.) When the chicken is done, debone the meat, remove the skin and cut the meat into bite-size chunks. Combine in a large bowl with all other ingredients and chill completely - overnight is best. Serve with a drizzle of the BBQ sauce.

SOUTHWESTERN SMOKED CHICKEN SALAD
Not your grandma's chicken salad! A combination of smoked light and dark meat and southwestern-inspired ingredients give this salad depth of flavor. Serve as-is on a bed of shredded lettuce, wrap in a flour tortilla, or mound in pita bread. If you're short on time, skip the brining step and add salt to taste to the dressing.

Steps:
- Brine the chicken: In a large saucepan or mixing bowl, combine the water and salt and stir until the salt crystals dissolve. Add the chicken breasts and thighs. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Drain, but do not dry the chicken: Smoke clings better to wet surfaces.
- When ready to cook, prepare your smoker for 325 degrees. Arrange the chicken on the grill grate and smoke the chicken until the juices run clear and the internal temperature when read on an instant-read meat thermometer is 165 degrees F, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
- Dice the chicken, discarding any skin, bones, or gobbets of fat. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the red and green bell peppers, the scallions, and pickled jalapenos. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients.
- Make the dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, black pepper, and garlic salt. Stir in the cilantro. Add the dressing to the chicken mixture and stir gently until well-combined. Transfer to a serving bowl. Dust with paprika. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 3 days.
