Spicy Honey Chicken Salad Over Spinach Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY HONEY-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SPINACH SALAD AND PANTRY DRESSING

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
• Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.

Steps:

• Rinse off chicken and cut off extra fat. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot. Keep heat low so oil does not smoke.

• Add chicken to pan and turn heat to medium.
• Put a good sear on the chicken until it is browned.
• Add half water to pan and deglaze. This will get the chicken flavor off the bottom of the pan.

• Reduce pan liquid by half. Cook until chicken is falling off the bone.
• Add peanut butter, browned garlic, and paprika.
• Add spinach and stir until all ingredient have integrated (10 minutes at least).
• Watch it close so it doesn't burn.
• The stew should be thick when you remove it. If its runny then let it simmer until it thickens.
